Routine Wellness Exams
What to Expect at Your Annual Check-up
We recommend routine wellness exams at least once a year for patients of all ages. These annual check-ups are very important for staying healthy. During your exam, we will perform a complete medical evaluation to assess your health and discover problems before they start. Early detection of a disease could result in easier and more effective treatment.
How to Prepare for Routine Wellness Exams:
Prior to your wellness exam, we recommend that you prepare by:
- Writing down a list of problem or questions you have
- Compiling a list of past, current and chronic illness
- Medication allergy history
- Current medication list, including all OTC meds and supplements
- Prior surgical history
- Review your family’s health history
- Make sure that you have had your recommended screenings
- Review any lifestyle changes that you feel need to be made
Our men’s and women’s health examinations both focus on general wellness and disease prevention, as well as certain male and female-specific conditions, respectively. The most frequently occurring problems among men include prostate issues, sexual health and sexual dysfunction. For women, common problems are urinary incontinence issues, sexual health and sexual dysfunction. If you are currently experiencing any of these issues, please contact us.
