Annual Physical Exam
Your annual physical is a pause point. A chance to check in, reflect, and look ahead with intention. During your yearly wellness visit, we review your overall health, screen for potential risks, update vaccinations when needed, and discuss prevention in a way that feels relevant to your life.
This visit is not rushed or routine. It is designed to help you feel informed, supported, and steady as you move into the year ahead. Prevention works best when it is personal. Together, we build a plan that aligns with your goals, values, and long-term well-being.

Why Your Annual Exam Matters
Annual physicals provide a steady foundation for preventive care. They allow us to look beyond today’s symptoms and understand how your health is changing over time. During your exam, we combine a thorough evaluation with age-appropriate screenings to identify concerns early and reduce future risk. Just as importantly, we use this visit to personalize a clear, realistic health plan that supports your goals for the year ahead.

Areas We Focus On
Your annual exam provides a clear and comprehensive picture of your health today, paired with a prevention plan that feels simple, relevant, and achievable. We focus on understanding patterns over time rather than isolated findings. This allows us to offer guidance that is practical, personalized, and grounded in your real-life goals.
How the Exam Process Works
Pre-Visit & Intake
Before your appointment, we review your medical history, current medications, and preventive care needs. We also take time to understand your priorities and any concerns you want to address.
This preparation allows your visit to be more focused and unrushed, so time is spent where it is most helpful rather than on repeated paperwork.
Head-to-Toe Exam
Your provider completes a comprehensive physical exam, reviews any symptoms or changes you have noticed, and takes time to answer your questions.
This visit is not rushed. The goal is to understand how your body is functioning as a whole and to address concerns with care, clarity, and attention.
Screenings & Labs
We recommend labs and preventive screenings based on your age, medical history, and individual risk factors, guided by current clinical guidelines.
There is no guesswork and no unnecessary testing. Each recommendation is explained clearly so you understand its purpose and how it supports your long-term health.
Personalized Plan
At the end of your visit, we bring everything together. You leave with clear, practical recommendations for prevention, nutrition, activity, and any appropriate follow-up care.
This plan is designed to feel manageable and relevant to your life. The goal is clarity, confidence, and a sense of direction rather than a long list of instructions
Follow-Up & Continuity
After your visit, we review results with you in a clear and timely way. When referrals or additional care are needed, we help coordinate next steps so nothing feels fragmented or confusing.
Over time, we track patterns and progress together. This continuity allows care to evolve with you, supporting prevention, early intervention, and confidence in your health decisions.
What to Expect
- Thorough—but comfortable: Your visit is unhurried and respectful, with time for questions, conversation, and shared decision-making. Comfort and clarity guide every part of the exam.
- Clear follow-through: We help coordinate next steps, including labs, vaccinations, and referrals when needed, so you are not left navigating the process alone.
- Proactive, not reactive: The focus is on prevention rather than reaction. Small, thoughtful changes made today help protect your health and well-being over time.
