Our Services / Well Visits

What are well visits?

Well visits are annual checkups in which your healthcare team evaluates your health, offers preventive treatments, and screens you for illnesses and diseases. Routine wellness exams can optimize your health and wellness.

Why are well visits important?

Well visits can enhance your quality of life. They help prevent or better manage health problems, such as:

• Hormone imbalance
• Nutritional deficiencies
• Diabetes
• High blood pressure or high cholesterol
• Heart problems
• Arthritis
• Cancer
• Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
• Sexual dysfunction
• Depression or anxiety
• Obesity

Early detection and treatment can prevent serious, even life-threatening, medical complications from diseases that go unchecked.

What happens during a well visit?

During a wellness checkup, the Fala Medical Clinic team completes the following:

Vital signs check

Your provider weighs you and checks your pulse, blood pressure, and other vital signs to detect or rule out health problems. In children, they also measure height and track growth.

Medical history review

The team reviews your medical history by asking questions about symptoms, past health problems, family medical history, medications, and past surgeries or hospitalizations. They discuss childhood development during pediatric wellness exams.

Physical examination

The team examines your eyes, nose, ears, throat, breathing, heartbeat, abdomen, limbs, and reflexes during a physical examination.

Health screening

In addition to checking your blood pressure, the Fala Medical Clinic team might screen you for high cholesterol, hormone imbalance, asthma, allergies, arthritis, diabetes, or other chronic conditions. The team may recommend a blood test, urine test, allergy test, lung function test, or imaging procedures to detect or rule out medical problems.

Do I need treatment after a well visit?

After a well visit at Fala Medical Clinic, the team may recommend treatment depending upon your results. The providers offer vaccinations, birth control, prescription medications for illnesses and diseases, or other therapies. If you have a complex medical condition, the team can refer you to a highly qualified specialist in your area.
