General Medicine FAQs

Common questions about primary care, preventive health, and our services answered by our physicians.

We recommend a comprehensive annual physical exam for most adults, even if you feel healthy. These visits allow your physician to monitor vital signs, update vaccinations, perform routine screenings, and detect potential health issues early. Patients with chronic conditions may benefit from more frequent visits every 3-6 months.
Chronic disease management involves ongoing care and support for patients with long-term conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, asthma, and arthritis. Our physicians work with you to create personalized treatment plans, coordinate medications, monitor progress, and provide lifestyle guidance to help you maintain the best possible quality of life.
Recommended screenings vary based on age, gender, and risk factors, but commonly include blood pressure checks, cholesterol panels, blood glucose testing, cancer screenings (mammograms, colonoscopies, Pap smears), bone density scans, and immunizations. Our physicians will recommend a personalized screening schedule during your annual checkup.
We offer a full range of vaccinations including annual flu shots, COVID-19 vaccines, tetanus boosters, shingles vaccine, pneumococcal vaccine, hepatitis vaccines, HPV vaccine, and travel-related immunizations. Our physicians will review your immunization history and recommend any necessary vaccines based on your age, health status, and travel plans.
Your general medicine physician should be your first point of contact for most health concerns, including routine checkups, minor illnesses, chronic condition management, and preventive care. If your condition requires specialized expertise, your physician will coordinate a referral to the appropriate specialist and continue to oversee your overall care as your medical home.
