Your body changes over time, and it is a good idea to monitor and manage those changes to ensure they are positive. Annual exams help establish your baseline for the year. Then, if you receive other medical care in the year, your health care provider has an idea of what is normal for you.

The health screenings allow us to identify any warning signs of a potentially detrimental health issue. Discovering a problem before it becomes more severe increases your chances of resolving or managing the condition. Then, we can improve your future health circumstances and work to prevent or handle comorbid (related) issues.

It also helps us create a specific plan for your care necessities. For example, if you decide to lose weight, the annual exam helps you and our team understand your current body condition. We can then establish a plan of action to help you reach your health goals, such as diet and exercise changes.

Annual exams make us aware of other health circumstances that could impede your progress. Moving forward with a plan takes more than simply establishing the steps toward improvement. We always prefer to make suggestions with your whole health in consideration.
