Comprehensive Annual Physical Examinations

I will provide a thorough annual physical examination, including well-woman exams, without the restrictions of many insurance companies. When problems are detected early, they are often treatable.

How it works:

We’ll first discuss your present and recent medical history, past, family and social histories, allergies, present medications, immunization status, and any other medical concerns.

The physical examination includes: vital signs, a general examination, head, eyes, ears, nose, throat, neck, lungs, back, breasts, heart, abdomen, genitalia (including pelvic exam in women), rectum (over age 40 including prostate in men), extremities, nerves, psychology, lymph nodes, and skin of the entire body. I’ll apply a special focus to any areas where you may be experiencing problems.

Based on the comprehensive examination, I’ll offer any appropriate screening laboratory tests and procedures, as well as plan or order any necessary tests or procedures. Once I receive results, we’ll review them and discuss next steps.
