Physicals & Screening
We offer comprehensive physical examinations and complete health screenings to all our patients. An annual physical is your opportunity to consult with your doctor about the questions you may have regarding your physical or mental health. During your physical exam your doctor will ask about your personal health history, family history of health conditions and your lifestyle. Certain tests and screenings may be ordered for an accurate and complete assessment of your health like blood test, urine test, EKG etc. Your doctor may further recommend you to have screening tests like mammogram, colonoscopy, bone density etc.
Results of these screening tests can reveal underlying conditions that you may not be aware of, as many conditions do not cause obvious symptoms. That is why annual physicals are an important preventative measure even if you feel that you’re in excellent health.
An annual health check also helps you to build a trusting relationship with your doctor along with the opportunity for preventive counseling and screening. Your primary care doctor will help you manage your health while suggesting dietary and lifestyle changes that are tailored to you. You never know what your doctor may discover during a physical, but early detection of any health condition is always better so it can be treated before it becomes more serious.
