Preventive medicine includes medical evaluations and disease screening, as well as immunizations that protect you against certain illnesses. This type of family medicine can greatly reduce your risk of (or detect early) diseases like diabetes, heart disease, cancer, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and more.
Some of the many preventive medicine services available at Scottsdale Private Physicians, LLC, include:
Detecting and treating diseases early can prevent serious complications. That’s why scheduling routine physical exams at least every year, or more often if your doctor recommends it, is important.
During preventive medicine visits at Scottsdale Private Physicians, LLC, your provider assesses your blood pressure, pulse, and body weight. They review your personal and family medical history, ask about medications you may take, and complete a physical examination.
Based on your risk factors, the providers may recommend you undergo urine testing, blood tests, heart function tests, STD testing, bone scans, or asthma and allergy tests. They may screen you for depression, anxiety, or other mental health challenges.
If you’re in good health, you likely don’t require any treatment. However, you have the option of vaccinations or birth control for women. If you have a chronic disease or illness, your provider may recommend making lifestyle changes, trying home remedies, or taking dietary supplements or prescription medications.
Your Scottsdale Private Physicians, LLC, provider can monitor your health periodically and make treatment changes as needed to ensure you stay as healthy as possible. When necessary, they can refer you to a highly trained specialist.
