What happens during annual physicals?

During annual physicals, Dr. Seoane completes the following steps:

Weigh-ins

He weighs you and determines your body mass index (BMI) to determine your risk of illnesses or diseases. Your BMI is a number that expresses the relationship between your weight and height.

Vital signs check

Dr. Seoane checks your blood pressure, pulse, and other vital signs to screen for signs of a medical problem and chronic disease risk factors.

Medical history review

He reviews your symptoms, medication, lifestyle, and personal and family histories of diseases to determine your risk factors and whether you need diagnostic testing or treatment.

Physical exam

During a physical exam, Dr. Seoane examines your eyes, ears, throat, abdomen, breathing, reflexes, and heartbeat. He offers prostate exams for men and pelvic exams and Pap tests for women to screen for cancer and other common medical problems.

Diagnostic tests

If you need allergy testing, asthma tests, heart-function tests, blood tests, urinalysis, X-rays, or other diagnostic procedures, Dr. Seoane is here to help. He uses these tests to diagnose possible health concerns and treat them as needed.

Treatment

Dr. Seoane offers preventive vaccinations (immunizations), prescriptions, medically supervised weight loss, and lifestyle-change counseling. If you struggle with a complex medical condition, he refers you to a skilled specialist best able to meet your needs.

When should I schedule annual physicals?
