Regular checkups are an important aspect of maintaining good health and prevention potential health problems. Regular checkups with your healthcare provider can help detect any health issues early on, allowing for timely intervention and treatment. Routine checkups typically include a physical exam, medical history review, and various screenings and tests depending on your age, gender, and overall health status.
An annual wellness check, which includes a physical exam, is a proactive step to maintaining good health and preventing potential health issues. During this check, our doctor will perform a physical exam, review your medical history, and recommend any necessary screenings or tests. By identifying potential health issues early on, you can take steps to prevent or manage them before they become more serious.
The checklist typically includes several components to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of your health:
We evaluate your vital signs, including heart rate, blood pressure, and temperature. These measurements provide valuable insights into your general health and help identify any abnormalities that may require further investigation. We’ll also carefully listen to your breath sounds, ensuring your respiratory system is functioning optimally.
Blood tests play a crucial role in assessing your overall health. Our laboratory enables us to perform a comprehensive panel of blood tests.
