Find Out Why Everyone Should See Their Doctor at Least Once a Year for a Routine Exam
Prioritize Your Health with an Annual Checkup
The New Year often brings a renewed focus on health, making it the perfect time to take charge of your well-being. If you haven’t scheduled your annual physical yet, now is the time. Dr. David Yi, Dr. Paula Lansford-Seabaugh, and PA Carol Addy at Trophy Club Family Medicine in Trophy Club, TX, provide thorough annual exams to help you stay proactive about your health.
Why Are Annual Physicals Important?
An annual checkup is a vital preventive measure that helps detect potential health issues early when they are most treatable. It also allows for the tracking of existing conditions and the making of necessary lifestyle changes.
Your first checkup establishes a baseline for your overall health, allowing our doctors to monitor changes year after year. Additionally, reviewing your family medical history helps assess whether you are at an increased risk for conditions like heart disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure. Regular visits allow for early intervention and improved long-term health outcomes.
What to Expect During an Annual Physical
Before your visit, you’ll fill out a form detailing your personal and family medical history. During the appointment, our doctor will:
- Review your health history and address any concerns.
- Record height, weight, heart rate, and blood pressure.
- Conduct a comprehensive physical exam, including checking your ears, nose, heart, lungs, mobility, and reflexes.
Some patients may require additional testing, such as blood work, to check hormone and blood sugar levels. If you have a family history of diabetes, thyroid conditions, or high cholesterol, regular screenings may be recommended. We’ll also ensure you are up to date on vaccinations and discuss whether further health screenings, like mammograms or colonoscopies, are necessary.
