Wellness Exams

What are wellness exams?

Wellness exams are comprehensive health evaluations you schedule even when you’re healthy and well. As a part of a preventive health care plan, wellness exams allow your primary care provider to identify warning signs of illness or chronic disease before it affects your health.

Peridot Primary Care offers routine wellness exams that focus on your existing health and long-term well-being.

The providers can recommend any preventive screenings you need based on your age, risk factors for disease, and lifestyle. They also make resources available, including peptide therapy, vitamin supplements, and medical weight loss programs that support optimal health and wellness.

When should I schedule wellness exams?

You should schedule wellness exams at Peridot Primary Care annually, so the team can monitor changes in your health from one year to the next.

Some people may also need to schedule routine screenings in addition to their wellness exam. For instance, women over 40 can meet with the team to get a referral for a mammogram or Pap smear.

In between wellness visits, you can schedule appointments for sick visits or chronic disease management services as needed.

What is included in wellness exams?

The wellness exams at Peridot Primary Care include a comprehensive assessment of your health, including a review of your medical history, diet, and lifestyle. It’s also a great time to discuss any questions or concerns you may have about your health.

Your wellness exam also includes:

Physical exam

During a physical exam, your provider assesses your blood pressure, heart rate, joint flexibility, and other aspects of your musculoskeletal, neurological, respiratory, and cardiovascular health.

Preventive screening

Blood work is available in the office to check your cholesterol levels and screen for diabetes and cancer. The team can also screen for mental and emotional issues like anxiety and depression. 

Immunizations

Immunizations protect against contagious illnesses that can cause serious complications. The team ensures you’re up to date on necessary vaccines, including the seasonal flu shot, based on your age and health history.

Health and wellness counseling

The providers can recommend lifestyle and diet changes, stress management strategies, and other resources to enhance your physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
