Physicals
Why is it important to have routine physical?
Good Morning this is Doctor Joe Cincotta. A physical, also know as a check up or a well adult examine. What purpose does this recommended regular visit serve? Physicians consider this visit an opportunity to perform a comprehensive review of your past medical and surgical history. A detailed medical examination will follow. Certain tests may be ordered based on your age and personal health assessment. After the examination we will have a discussion with you about our findings, impressions, and recommendations for you to preserve or reclaim your health. Our attention during this visit is on your overall health. We generally set aside time at a follow up visit to discuss and evaluate specific problems and their treatment or other issues that you may have on your list of health concerns. If you think that you may be due for a physical, contact your physician’s office. They can assist you with this important health promoting visit.
