Why is an annual health exam important?

You may feel like you’re in good health, but many chronic conditions, including high blood pressure, have no outward symptoms. Visiting the doctor only when you’re sick doesn’t make sense. When you’re coming in for preventive purposes, you can review your medications and ask general health questions.

Creating a relationship with the office also makes it easy for our providers to conduct annual physicals for school or sports teams. Annual exams also allow her to monitor your blood pressure, your weight, and your emotional health. Our healthcare providers can provide you with better care when she knows you and your medical history and doesn’t just see you periodically for a sore throat or digestive distress.
