Why come in for a yearly physical exam?

To ensure good overall health, it’s important for men and women to receive yearly screening tests. These tests and examinations can pick up diseases in their early stages. Early detection is key to successful treatment and management of these conditions. Taking a little time out of your week for a screening can save you years of discomfort and large medical bills.

There are several different types of screenings you can receive at a yearly physical exam. They include:

Blood Pressure

Your risk of kidney disease and stroke increases if you have high blood pressure. We measure your blood pressure at our walk-in medical clinic and can track it for you with regular readings.
