Question 1

What should I bring to my annual physical?

Accepted Answer

Photo ID, insurance card, a current medication/supplement list (with doses), vaccination record, recent labs/imaging, and your questions. Fast 8–10 hours only if we asked you to.

Question 2

Do you do labs in‑office?

Accepted Answer

We place electronic lab orders (e.g., Quest/Labcorp). You’ll use a nearby draw site; results come back to us and we’ll message you with a plan

Question 3

Which cancer screenings do I need and when?

Accepted Answer

It depends on age, sex, and risk. Common examples: mammogram from ~40, Pap/HPV 21–65, colon cancer 45–75. We’ll tailor timing to your history and current guidelines.

Question 4

Can this be combined with chronic care follow‑up?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If we manage additional problems at the same visit, insurance may bill a separate problem-focused service—copay/coinsurance/deductible may apply.

Question 5

What if I have an acute issue during my physical?

Accepted Answer

We’ll triage it. If quick, we can address it during the physical. If it needs significant time, testing, or procedures, we may convert the visit to an acute/problem-focused visit (which can change your copay/cost-share) and reschedule the preventive physical to another day.

Question 6

Do you give vaccines in-office?

Accepted Answer

Not routinely right now. We’ll review your needs and send an electronic order/prescription to your local pharmacy (e.g., flu, Tdap, shingles, COVID). Pharmacies usually bill insurance directly. If in-office stock is available, we’ll let you know—bring your vaccine record.
