Looking ahead together

A preventive approach built around you.

An annual physical gives you time to discuss how you are feeling, review your health history and set priorities with your clinician. We use current clinical recommendations alongside your personal and family history to guide that conversation.

Review your health

Discuss changes since your last visit, medications, family health history and the questions that matter to you.

Plan preventive care

Talk about screenings, everyday habits and follow-up that fit your age, health history and individual risk factors.

Consider appropriate testing

Discuss blood work and whether genetic testing or imaging could help answer a specific health question.

The right tests for your situation.

Our clinicians can discuss established and newer testing options when they are relevant to your care. Testing decisions consider your symptoms, family history and what a result could change about your care plan.

Blood work, genetic testing and imaging are not a standard package for every patient. We discuss the purpose of a test, possible next steps and insurance considerations before deciding what fits your needs.

Prepare for your physical

  • Bring your insurance card and current medication list.
  • Gather relevant records and test results from other clinicians.
  • Write down questions and changes in your family health history.
  • Ask whether you need any preparation before your appointment.

Physicals for adults, school and sports.

Let our team know which kind of physical you need. School and sports forms, an annual preventive visit and a visit for a specific health concern may involve different appointments or services.

Annual physical questions

What is the focus of an annual physical?

An annual physical is time to review your health, discuss changes or concerns, and plan preventive care with your clinician. Neighborhood Primary Care considers your history, goals and current clinical recommendations.

Will I have blood work, genetic testing or imaging?

Your clinician discusses which tests are appropriate for your health, symptoms, family history and risk factors. Blood work, genetic testing and imaging may be considered when relevant. They are not automatically needed or ordered for every physical.

What should I bring to my physical?

Bring your insurance card, a current medication list, relevant records from other clinicians, and questions you want to discuss. Sharing changes in your family health history can help guide the visit.

Do you offer school and sports physicals?

The practice offers school and sports physicals in addition to preventive visits. Tell the team which physical you need and bring any required forms so the appointment can be scheduled appropriately.

Will insurance cover my physical and testing?

Coverage depends on your plan and the services provided. A preventive visit, evaluation of a separate concern, and lab work or other testing may have different coverage and costs. Ask about your benefits before the visit.

Where can I schedule an annual physical?
