Who Should Get an Annual Physical Exam?

We recommend that individuals of all ages receive an annual physical exam, even if you feel healthy. Patients with family health histories such as obesity, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and hypertension are even more at risk and advised to receive annual check-ups. Pregnant women are encouraged to schedule specific prenatal physicals throughout their pregnancy.

What Can Patients Expect During a Typical Annual Physical Exam?

  1. Recording of vital signs (including blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature)
  2. Height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) measurement

  4. Laboratory testing (blood and urine analysis)
  5. Diagnostic screenings (e.g., mammography, colonoscopy based on age and gender)
