At Alfredo Ermac Jr, MD in Houston, TX, we provide comprehensive medical physicals that go beyond routine checkups. These in-depth evaluations help assess your current health, detect early signs of disease, and create a personalized plan to support long-term wellness.
What Are Comprehensive Medical Physicals?
Comprehensive medical physicals are detailed examinations designed to evaluate your overall health. They include a thorough review of your medical history, physical exam, laboratory testing, and preventive screenings. Unlike basic checkups, these physicals provide a full picture of your health and risk factors, allowing for proactive care and early intervention.
How Comprehensive Medical Physicals Work
During a comprehensive physical, we assess vital signs, review lifestyle habits, perform a head-to-toe physical exam, and order appropriate lab tests such as blood work, cholesterol panels, and metabolic screenings. Depending on your age, gender, and risk profile, additional tests such as heart evaluations, cancer screenings, or imaging may be included. This holistic approach ensures you receive a personalized roadmap for your ongoing health.
Conditions Addressed by Comprehensive Medical Physicals
