What happens during annual physical exams?

During annual physical exams at Montgomery Family & Urgent Care, your specialist usually completes the following:

Medical history review

The Montgomery Family Care team reviews your medical history. This includes reviewing your personal and family histories of disease, the medications you’re taking, and the symptoms you might be experiencing.

Vital signs check

They assess your body weight, body mass index (BMI), pulse, blood pressure, and other vital signs.

Physical exam

Your Montgomery Family Care specialist assesses your overall health and wellness during the physical exam. They evaluate your eyes, ears, throat, breathing, heartbeat, and more. Your provider records signs of growth and development in children and psychological well-being as needed to manage mental health challenges.

They do breast exams for women to screen for breast cancer and pelvic exams and Pap tests to screen for cervical cancer. Montgomery Family Care providers also offer prostate exams to men.

Diagnostic testing

If necessary, additional diagnostic tests your specialist could recommend are urine and blood tests, on-site X-rays and ultrasounds, asthma and allergy tests, and heart- and lung function tests.

Treatment

If you need treatment after undergoing an annual physical exam, the experts at Montgomery Family & Urgent Care offer many choices. Examples include making lifestyle changes, taking medications, having injections, being treated for an injury, and much more. They can refer you to a specialist if you have a complex or severe medical problem.

When should I schedule annual physical exams?

See the Montgomery Family Care team every year for annual physical exams. In children younger than 3, your provider recommends more frequent well-child visits to ensure that they grow and develop correctly. You or a family member could need a physical for work, sports, camp, or school at some point, and the practice provides these exams.

You can book an appointment at Montgomery Family & Urgent Care any time you notice new or unusual symptoms or are worried about your health.
