Questions and Answers (Q & A)
A physical exam is a preventive service that allows you to assess how well your body is functioning. These exams provide important information about your health year after year and help ensure that you can maintain an active, high-quality life.
Dr. González offers physical exams for adults as part of his preventive care and primary care services.
With the Direct Medical Service model, you can schedule exams for the same day or the next day, without long waits or rushed visits.
You should schedule a physical exam once a year, even if you feel well. Annual exams allow Dr. Gonzalez to monitor your health over time and detect early signs of chronic diseases, when treatment is often most effective.
