Comprehensive Annual Physical & Wellness Exam
A personalized, unhurried review of your overall health, risk factors, vital benchmarks, and preventive goals. Designed to detect potential issues early when they are easiest to treat.
Who this visit is for
Every adult benefits from an annual wellness checkup, regardless of whether you currently feel sick. It creates an ongoing medical record of your baseline health over the years, making subtle changes easier to spot.
What to expect during your exam
1. Vital Signs & Measurements
Our medical assistant will record your blood pressure, heart rate, respiration, height, weight, and calculate your BMI.
2. Head-to-Toe Clinical Exam
Your physician will examine your eyes, ears, throat, listen to heart and lung sounds, check your abdomen, assess reflexes, and inspect skin for concerning moles or lesions.
3. Routine Screening Orders
Depending on your age, risk profile, and time since last screening, your doctor may order routine blood panels (lipids, fasting glucose, CBC), mammograms, bone density scans, or colon cancer screenings (Cologuard / colonoscopy referral).
4. Personalized Prevention Plan
We discuss sleep, stress, nutrition, family planning, and physical activity, co-creating practical goals you feel confident pursuing.
How to prepare for your physical

Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), most private insurance plans and Medicare cover an annual preventive wellness exam at 100% with no copay or deductible when seeing an in-network provider. However, if you request evaluation or treatment for a new acute illness or chronic condition during the same visit, your insurer may apply your normal office visit copay according to your plan rules.
