Wellness Physical Exam

Regular wellness physicals are an essential component of preventative care and can help you maintain your health and wellbeing. By detecting potential health problems early, you can take steps to prevent them from developing into more serious conditions. 

A wellness physical is a comprehensive examination that is designed to assess your overall health and detect any potential health problems before they become more serious. At PrimeDoc, our experienced medical team provides a range of services during your wellness physical, including a physical exam, blood pressure and cholesterol checks, glucose testing, and other laboratory tests as needed. 

Our team will also review your medical history and lifestyle habits, including diet and exercise, to provide recommendations for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. We’ll discuss any preventive health measures that may be appropriate for you, such as vaccinations or cancer screenings. 

Here are some essentials of wellness exam: 

• Medical history: Your doctor and clinical team will collect comprehensive medical history, including existing medical conditions, past illnesses, surgeries, medications, allergies, social history, family medical history and more. 
• Vital signs: It is important to take vital signs during the wellness exam, since they may give clues about your health. During your wellness visit height, weight, body mass index, heart rate, blood pressure and other vital signs will be obtained and addressed if in abnormal range. 
• Physical examination: A thorough physical examination will be conducted. Your healthcare provider will check for any abnormalities, listen to your heart and lungs, check your abdomen, head, neck and extremities to detect any potential issues. 
• Laboratory tests: There is an array of blood tests that are commonly performed during the wellness exam for preventative reasons. These may include complete blood count (CBC) to evaluate your blood cells, complete metabolic panel (CMP) to evaluate your glucose, electrolytes, kidney and liver functions, lipid panel to evaluate your cardiovascular health and risks, glycohemoglobin (HgA1C) to evaluate for prediabetes/diabetes. 
• Age appropriate screening and imaging: Additionally your doctor may recommend other tests and screening imagings, such as yearly mammograms, to better assess your health. 
• Immunizations: Your vaccination status will be assessed and addressed by offering booster vaccinations. Your doctor will review current guidelines of age appropriate vaccinations.
