Prioritize your health and get thorough screening annually
Scheduling these check-ups is crucial for protecting your health even if you feel fine. Taking our Comprehensive Health Maintenance exam once a year is essential for the early detection of potential health issues, as many diseases can be effectively treated if identified promptly. For example, conditions such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and elevated cholesterol levels often show no symptoms until they lead to serious health complications. Based on the results of your screenings, your doctor can help you develop preventive measures to maintain your health in the future or, if necessary, recommend further specialized exams or treatments.
What does the Comprehensive Health Maintenance Exam exam include?
This detailed health screening comprises essential evaluations and diagnostic tests designed to monitor your overall health and identify any potential issues:
Health assessment
Our doctor will review your medical history, allergies, regularly taken medications and immunizations, discuss your symptoms (if you have any) and lifestyle factors, such as weight management and exercise.
Lab tests
You will undergo various lab tests on blood and urine samples, which may include measurements for blood sugar and cholesterol levels. For accuracy, you shouldn't drink or eat for 6 to 8 hours before the lab tests.
Medical checkup
The examination will include a thorough physical checkup, including measuring height, weight, and blood pressure, and an eye test with and without glasses. Based on these evaluations, the doctor may recommend further exams.
Vaccinations
If you need vaccinations, such as the flu vaccine, this is a perfect opportunity to get them. However, the vaccines may involve further costs.*
