Your annual physical is the one visit a year that is all about staying well. We block a full 45 minutes, so there is time for the exam, the screenings you are due and — just as important — your questions.
Your doctor reviews your history, checks your blood pressure, heart and lungs, and agrees with you on the tests that make sense for your age and family history. Results arrive in your patient portal, usually within two days, with a note in plain language.
Why yearly?
Most serious conditions, from high blood pressure to type 2 diabetes, are silent for years. A yearly check-up is the simplest way to catch them early, when they are easiest to treat.
