A wellness exam is a comprehensive evaluation of your health. The primary care physicians at Sierra Rose Family Physicians Medical Group, Inc. consider your wellness exam an important part of your preventive medicine health plan.
The purpose of your wellness exam is to evaluate your health and screen for habits and diseases that may increase your risk of sickness and disease.
How often do I need a wellness exam?
You need a wellness exam at least once a year. Routine wellness exams allow the primary care physicians at Sierra Rose Family Physicians Medical Group, Inc. to monitor your health and track trends. Your annual wellness exam may also find health issues during the early stages when treatments may be more effective at preventing, reversing, or curing the condition.
Though you may view your wellness exam as routine, regular visits at Sierra Rose Family Physicians Medical Group, Inc. may improve your overall quality of life, as well as your life expectancy.
What happens during a wellness exam?
Every wellness exam at Sierra Rose Family Physicians Medical Group, Inc. is individualized based on your age, sex, and health needs. However, you can expect your primary care physician to ask detailed questions about your current health and health history, as well as information about the types of medications and supplements you take.
Your lifestyle contributes to your health and wellness and your provider may also ask about your usual diet and exercise routine, as well as your daily stresses and habits. Your provider then performs a physical exam and requests health screenings based on your age, sex, and habits.
Your wellness exam health screenings may include:
- Blood glucose testing
- Lipid profile testing
- Blood pressure check
- Body composition assessment
- Colonoscopy
- Bone density testing
Sierra Rose Family Physicians Medical Group, Inc. provides wellness exams for all ages from infancy through adulthood. The primary care physicians also offer wellness exams specific for men and women, which may include a prostate exam for men or a Pap smear for women.
After your wellness exam, your primary care physician reviews your health assessment and provides specific recommendations about the steps you can take to optimize health and well-being.
