Importance Of Wellness Checkups:

Even if you are feeling fine, everyone needs a regular checkup to avoid problems in the future. Men typically visit the doctor less than women do. However, there’s really no reason not to see your provider regularly for conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer and depression.

There are also necessary screenings that are specific to men. This is why we encourage you to come in for wellness visits to speak with your provider about any health concerns you may have. These screenings check for diseases focusing on preventive care and counseling to assess your risk for future medical problems. Be sure that your share your medical and family history and lifestyle with your provider so that they can better help develop a preventative health plan for you. These screenings encourage a healthy lifestyle and helps you get to know your provider in case of an illness.
