Physical Examinations
A physical examination is usually performed for new patients, and many adult patients have physical examinations after that every year or so. This may include examinations which are appropriate for your gender and age, such as pelvic exams, pap smears, breast exams, rectal and prostate exams, etc. Also, if blood tests or other items such as skin tests, urine analysis, X rays, etc. are necessary, they can be done within this facility, most on a same day basis. Other tests which are recommended for some people after physical examinations, such as mammograms, EKGs, echocardiogram, treadmill tests, etc. can also be done within this facility.
