How do I prepare for a comprehensive physical?
-
A member of the Concierge Medicine and Wellness team tells you how to prepare at least a few days before your comprehensive physical. Preparation can vary depending on how your comprehensive physical is tailored for you, but some typical prep guidelines include:
-
Fasting starting the night before the exam, allows for the most accurate blood test results.
-
Clean Skin
-
It’s best to avoid lotion or anything else on your skin because it can interfere with electrode application for your EKG.
-
-
Comfortable clothing
-
Your Concierge Medicine and Wellness care provider checks your lungs and heart and also places electrodes on your chest for the EKG, during your comprehensive physical. It’s best to wear comfortable clothing that you can easily unbutton or replace with a hospital gown.
-
Of course, it’s important to get plenty of rest before your comprehensive physical. Your Concierge Medicine and Wellness care provider may also give you other specific prep instructions.
When do I get my test results after a comprehensive physical?
-
Your Concierge Medicine and Wellness care provider schedules a follow-up visit to review your test results with you in detail. Additionally, your care provider makes customized health recommendations during this follow-up visit.
-
For example, a comprehensive executive physical might reveal that you have high cholesterol, and your care provider recommends lifestyle changes and or medications to reduce it to healthy levels.
-
You get copies of all test results and recommendations during your follow-up visit, so you can refer to them when needed.
