What Happens During a Wellness Screening at My Doctor Urgent Care
Regular wellness screenings are a crucial part of maintaining good health and catching potential health issues early. At My Doctor Urgent Care, we offer comprehensive wellness screenings to help you stay on top of your health. Here’s what you can expect during a typical wellness screening at our clinic.
Initial Consultation
Your wellness screening begins with an initial consultation where our healthcare provider will review your medical history, current medications, and any symptoms or concerns you may have. This helps us understand your health background and tailor the screening to your specific needs.
Vital Signs Check
We will measure your vital signs, including blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature. Monitoring these vital signs gives us a snapshot of your overall health and can help detect potential issues early.
Physical Examination
A thorough physical examination is conducted to assess your overall health. This includes checking your heart, lungs, abdomen, and other vital organs. We also examine your skin, eyes, ears, nose, and throat for any abnormalities.
Laboratory Tests
Depending on your health needs, we may recommend various laboratory tests. Common tests include blood tests to check cholesterol levels, blood sugar, and complete blood count (CBC). Urine tests and other specific tests may also be conducted based on your health concerns.
Screening for Chronic Conditions
During the screening, we look for signs of chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol. Early detection of these conditions allows for timely intervention and better management.
Lifestyle and Health Counseling
Our healthcare provider will discuss your lifestyle habits, including diet, exercise, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Based on your screening results, we provide personalized advice and recommendations to help you maintain or improve your health.
Vaccinations and Preventive Measures
We will check your vaccination status and recommend any necessary vaccines to protect against preventable diseases. We also provide information on preventive measures you can take to stay healthy.
Follow-Up and Next Steps
After your wellness screening, we will discuss the results with you and recommend any necessary follow-up actions or treatments. If any issues are detected, we will create a plan to address them and schedule follow-up appointments as needed.
