Annual Physical Exams

Your doctor will use a physical exam to see how your body is performing. Depending on your personal health history, your doctor may choose to focus on certain areas. If you have a family history of heart disease, for example, you may receive additional blood pressure checks, blood tests, and diabetes and cholesterol screenings.

Based on test results, age, and personal health history, the exam is also an opportunity to discuss future prevention measures with your doctor.
