Screenings

Screenings play a crucial role in maintaining good health by detecting potential health problems early, often before symptoms manifest. At our practice, we emphasize the importance of preventive care and offer a range of screenings tailored to your age, gender, medical history, and risk factors. Our goal is to identify health issues in their early stages when they are most treatable, ultimately helping you live a healthier and longer life.

Types of Screenings Offered:

1. Cholesterol Screenings: High cholesterol levels can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. We offer cholesterol screenings to assess your lipid profile and determine if lifestyle modifications or medication may be necessary to manage your cholesterol levels.
2. Blood Pressure Checks: High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is often called the "silent killer" because it typically has no symptoms but can lead to serious complications such as heart disease and stroke. We routinely monitor blood pressure and provide guidance on maintaining healthy levels.
3. Diabetes Screening: Diabetes is a chronic condition that can lead to serious complications if left untreated. We offer screenings to assess blood sugar levels and identify individuals at risk for diabetes or prediabetes.
4. Vision and Hearing Screenings: Regular vision and hearing screenings are important for detecting problems early and ensuring optimal sensory function.
5. Skin Cancer Screenings: Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States. We offer skin cancer screenings to identify suspicious moles or lesions that may require further evaluation.
6. Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Screenings: We provide confidential STI screenings for sexually active individuals to detect and treat infections early, preventing complications and transmission to others.

Our Approach to Screenings:

• Individualized Approach: We tailor screening recommendations to each patient based on factors such as age, gender, family history, lifestyle, and personal health history.
• Evidence-Based Practice: Our screening protocols adhere to established guidelines and recommendations from reputable organizations such as the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) and the American Cancer Society (ACS).
• Patient Education: We believe in empowering patients with knowledge about the importance of screenings, the rationale behind specific tests, and what to expect during the screening process.
• Continuity of Care: We provide ongoing monitoring and follow-up to ensure that screening results are appropriately interpreted, and any necessary interventions or referrals are promptly addressed.

By prioritizing preventive screenings, we aim to identify health concerns early, intervene promptly, and support our patients in achieving optimal health and well-being.
