Physical Exams
Preventive Health Starts With Knowing Where You Stand
Many serious health conditions give no warning signs. High blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, and early-stage diabetes can progress for years before they affect how a person feels. By the time symptoms appear, treatment may become more complex. A routine physical exam changes that timeline by identifying concerns early, before they become harder to manage.
At Crescent Integrative Medical, physical exams go beyond checking boxes. Each visit includes a review of your medical history, a discussion about your lifestyle, and preventive care recommendations based on your current health needs.
What Does a Physical Exam Actually Involve?
A physical exam is a routine health check that helps your provider understand your overall health. It helps track changes over time and ensures recommended preventive screenings stay on schedule.
Your provider will review your personal and family medical history, current medications, lifestyle habits, and any symptoms you want to address.
The visit also includes a hands-on assessment of your body’s major systems. Depending on your age and individual risk factors, additional laboratory testing or screenings may be recommended as part of the evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should adults get a physical exam?
For most adults, once a year is a reasonable baseline, but age, medical history, and existing conditions all factor in. Your provider will look at your situation specifically and recommend what actually fits.
Do I need to fast before my appointment?
If blood work is part of the visit- cholesterol, glucose, or similar- fasting may be required beforehand. The team will walk you through exactly what’s needed when you book.
What should I bring?
A photo ID, insurance information, your current medication list, any relevant medical records, and any forms needed for work, school, or sports participation. Having everything together keeps the visit running smoothly.
Can I bring up new health concerns during a physical?
Please do. A routine physical is genuinely the right time to raise anything that’s been on your mind- new symptoms, ongoing concerns, changes you’ve noticed. There’s no need to hold those back for a separate visit.
Is lab testing included?
It depends on your age, history, and what your provider determines during the visit. In-office testing is available on-site, so results don’t require a separate trip.
Are same-day appointments available?
Yes, whenever the schedule allows. That goes for routine wellness visits and physicals needed for work, school, or other requirements- not just urgent concerns.
