Annual Exams

About Annual Exams

Annual wellness exams at M&S Vascular and Orthopedic Group are the foundation of preventive care, giving you and your doctor a complete picture of your health each year. These comprehensive checkups are performed by our experienced medical doctors and are designed to detect health concerns early — when they are most treatable — and to keep your ongoing conditions well managed. During your annual exam, your physician reviews your medical history, performs a thorough physical examination, orders appropriate screening tests, updates vaccinations, and discusses any new symptoms or health concerns. For our senior patients, annual exams are especially important for monitoring conditions common with aging, including high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular risk, cognitive changes, and medication management. At M&S Vascular and Orthopedic Group, your annual exam is also an opportunity for your doctor to coordinate with our specialists in vascular care, pain management, podiatry, and rehabilitation to ensure all aspects of your health are addressed under one roof.

What to Expect

Your annual exam begins with a review of your medical history, current medications, and any health changes since your last visit. Your doctor will perform a comprehensive physical examination including blood pressure, heart and lung assessment, abdominal examination, and musculoskeletal evaluation. Routine bloodwork and age-appropriate screenings will be ordered as needed. You will have time to discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor, and referrals to specialists within M&S Vascular and Orthopedic Group will be arranged if needed.

Who Is This For?

Annual exams are for all adults, and are particularly important for seniors and individuals managing chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, or arthritis who benefit from regular monitoring and coordinated preventive care.
