A Proactive Approach to Your Health

Preventive care creates an opportunity to identify relevant health risks, review changes in your medical history, and discuss appropriate next steps before concerns become more complicated.

At My Private Doctor, we tailor preventive recommendations to the individual.

We consider factors such as age, existing diagnoses, family history, medications, lifestyle, and overall health.

Our goal is to help you understand what matters most for your circumstances and stay informed about your care.

What Preventive Care May Include

Depending on your needs, preventive services may involve:

• Annual physical examinations.
• Review of medical and family history.
• Medication and supplement review.
• Discussion of relevant health screenings.
• Evaluation of blood pressure and other health indicators.
• Consideration of age-appropriate preventive recommendations.
• Discussion of weight-related health concerns.
• Review of changes in physical function or daily well-being.
• Coordination of additional testing when appropriate.
• Follow-up planning based on your individual risk factors.

Annual Physicals With More Meaningful Conversation

An annual physical provides an opportunity to step back and look at your health as a whole.

We can discuss what has changed, what concerns you, and whether additional evaluation or screening may be appropriate.

We also help patients understand the reasoning behind recommendations so they can participate more confidently in their care.

Personalized Risk Assessment

Preventive recommendations are not identical for every patient.

Family history, existing conditions, age, and other individual factors may influence which screenings or follow-up evaluations should be discussed.

We help patients consider their personal risk factors and determine when additional attention may be appropriate.

Prevention and Long-Term Health Planning

Preventive care works best as an ongoing process.

As your health changes, recommendations may need to be updated.

By developing a relationship with our patients, we can help monitor changes over time and adjust care plans based on evolving needs.

FAQs

Do I need preventive care if I feel healthy?

Is a preventive visit the same as an annual physical?

An annual physical may be part of preventive care, but the services provided depend on your needs and appointment type.

Do all patients need the same screenings?

No. Screening recommendations should be individualized based on age, medical history, family history, and other factors.
