Medical Interview

During the initial medical interview you can expect your healthcare practitioner to sit down with you and ask questions related to your medical history, lifestyle habits, and family history.
The doctor will review your current medications

Physical Examination

After the medical interview you will move onto the physical exam, during which the doctor will take your vital signs and perform a head to toe assessment. Using this information your doctor will recommend the best individualized course of action to further optimize your health.

Lab Testing

Once your physician completes your medical interview and physical examination, he/she will recommend the appropriate lab testing to complete your annual physical. These lab tests offered at our medical clinic will give you and the doctor a more complete understanding of your current health status. The results from these lab tests can also be used in the future as a baseline to monitor for any changes in your health.

Using this information your doctor will recommend the best individualized course of action to further optimize your health.
