How Important is an Annual Physical Exam?
Annual physicals are vital because they can lead to early diagnosis of health issues and prevent them from becoming serious problems. A physical exam can help spot the early signs of conditions like high blood pressure, heart disease, breast cancer, prostate cancer, and kidney disease.
If you already live with a chronic condition like diabetes, a physical exam ensures your symptoms are under control.
Annual exams also give you a chance to talk to your doctor about your overall health, lifestyle, and any areas of concern. They also provide a baseline from year to year to better understand long-term changes or health issues.

What Happens During my Physical Exam?
This yearly appointment is an opportunity to get an update on your overall health. During your physical exam, Dr. Hancock or another dedicated team member will complete a health questionnaire with you, conduct routine tests, and collect a blood sample to check cholesterol, blood sugar, and thyroid function.
The health questionnaire includes information about your medical history, overall health, and lifestyle. Your responses are completely confidential, so it’s important to answer honestly. Take this time to talk to your doctor about your health goals and address any questions or concerns you may have.
