Annual Appointments

Complete Physical Exam:

An Annual Physical is an assessment of your body's health.  The purpose of this annual appointment is to identify any possible health problems.  A Doctor, Nurse Practitioner, or Physician Assistant uses their senses and medical expertise to gauge your body's performance.  The provider will perform routine evaluations like listening to your heart and lungs to help inform their findings during your physical.  Your height, weight, and blood pressure along with respirations will be measured and recorded in a secure electronic record for comparison of previous results. Patients can access these results in their patient portal at any time.  Your physical is a great opportunity for you and your provider to review any recent blood work, and order necessary blood work.  Additionally, an EKG, spirometry, or Diabetic Retinal Exam may be performed in the office during your physical.  If the provider feels it would beneficial, additional testing outside the office such as a chest x ray, CT scan or other imagining may be ordered to help provide a greater understanding of your physical health.
