Wellness Visits

A wellness visit is a scheduled check-in focused on prevention rather than a specific complaint. It's a chance to review your overall health, update your history, and catch potential concerns like elevated blood pressure, blood sugar changes, or breathing issues before they become bigger problems. Many patients schedule a wellness visit annually or as part of Medicare Wellness Visits and ongoing preventive care.

What a Visit May Include

Vital Checks — Automated blood pressure monitoring and digital thermometry give a clear picture of everyday health.
Heart & Lung Screening — A 12-lead EKG and spirometry can be used to check heart rhythm and lung function when indicated.
Metabolic Screening — Point-of-care HbA1c testing, urinalysis, and in-office blood draw support diabetes and general health screening.
Weight & Senses — Digital scale and body composition tracking, along with vision screening and audiometry, are part of a fuller wellness picture.

Staying Connected

Results and visit summaries are kept in your Electronic Health Records and made available through the Patient Portal, so you can review labs, track trends over time, and message the office with questions. If a prescription adjustment is needed, e-prescribing sends it directly to your pharmacy.

Ongoing Care

Wellness visits often connect with other services here, including chronic disease management, cholesterol management, and hypertension management, so care stays coordinated from one visit to the next.
