ANNUAL PHYSICALS AND WELLNESS APPOINTMENTS  | Vermont

Annual Physicals and Wellness Appointments

The annual wellness visit makes you 10% less likely to die. It’s that simple.

These yearly visits may include general physical exams, EKGs, prostate or gynecological exams, and any desired blood work.

The benefit of annual wellness visits is not only about keeping physical and mental awareness on how you’re feeling in life, but it also helps us establish and grow an important connection with you, and for you with us. When we see you at least once a year to check-up on how you’re doing, we’re both creating a sense of trust and care for your overall health. Your primary care physician is someone you should feel safe sharing things with, and someone whom you know will really hear what you have to say.

Here are some other ways that annual visits are valuable:

Develop baseline wellness: through blood work we’re able to identify your baseline and notice if/when things are out of balance. This increases your chances of preventing some diseases and chronic conditions, and starting therapeutic support early on.

Lifestyle Support: Doctor-patient relationships are great places to ask all of your burning questions and to learn about various ways you can achieve desired health results. 

Professional and educated guide: Dr. Google can be a dangerous place to look for answers. We bring experience as well as consistent education in the field of integrative osteopathic medicine right to you! When it comes to making a diagnosis and creating a treatment plan that will work for YOU, your annual visits are the place to be.

Medication Care: Medications, supplements, and therapies are things that often need to be adjusted as your body begins to rebalance and develop responses to treatments. This is a good thing, but you’ll want to stay in communication with us so that we can keep you as comfortable as possible, and on the right track to health.

At Preventive Medicine, you will always receive the doctor’s full attention and will have your health needs addressed with respect and the highest quality of care. We’re proud to provide integrative osteopathic health care and numerous therapies and services that meet your unique needs and desires.

We accept most major forms of health insurances and bill insurance for services where we’re able to. There are some services and therapies that insurance won’t cover, but we can identify those up front with you so you know what health investments you’ll want to plan for.
