Yearly Physicals

What Are Yearly Physicals?

Yearly physicals, also known as annual checkups, are preventive exams that evaluate your overall health. They include a review of your medical history, lifestyle, and risk factors, along with physical examinations and necessary screenings.

How Yearly Physicals Work

During your yearly physical, your provider reviews your health history, checks vital signs, and performs a physical exam. Depending on age, gender, and risk factors, lab work or screenings may be ordered. Together, we’ll discuss lifestyle habits, preventive strategies, and personalized recommendations to keep you at your healthiest.
