Our physical exam process is designed to be thorough and patient-centered, ensuring that you receive the highest standard of care.
Initial Consultation
Each physical exam begins with a detailed consultation, where our healthcare professionals take the time to understand your medical history, lifestyle, and any specific health concerns you may have. This initial conversation is crucial for tailoring the exam to your individual needs.
Vital Signs Check
We start the physical examination by checking your vital signs, including blood pressure, heart rate, respiration rate, and temperature. These basic measurements provide critical information about your heart health and overall physiological function.
Physical Assessment
Our healthcare professionals conduct a head-to-toe physical assessment, examining various systems of the body to ensure everything is functioning properly. This includes evaluating your heart, lungs, abdomen, skin, and neurological functions, among others.
Vision and Hearing Tests
As part of our comprehensive approach, we include vision and hearing tests in our physical exams. These tests help to identify any issues that could affect your daily life and overall well-being.
Laboratory Tests
Depending on your age, medical history, and the findings of the physical assessment, we may recommend laboratory tests. These can include blood tests, urinalysis, and other diagnostic tests to check for signs of diseases or conditions that might not be apparent during a physical examination.
Immunizations and Preventive Screenings
We review your immunization history and recommend any necessary updates to protect against common diseases. Additionally, we discuss appropriate preventive screenings based on your age, gender, and risk factors, such as cholesterol screening, mammography, or colonoscopy.
Lifestyle Assessment and Counseling
A key component of our physical exams is the assessment of your lifestyle, including diet, exercise, sleep patterns, and tobacco or alcohol use. We provide personalized counseling to help you make healthier lifestyle choices and reduce your risk of chronic diseases.
