It may feel strange to go to the doctor even if there’s nothing wrong, especially if you don’t regularly attend routine check-ups. Preventive care is a key factor for a long and healthy life, though. Exams and screenings can reveal signs and symptoms of many different conditions or diseases that may be lurking in your body. By detecting these signs before they cause you any distress, we can treat them earlier. This is almost always safer, easier, and more cost-effective.
Preventive appointments are also a great time for you to catch up on your vaccinations, and they give you the opportunity to talk with us about anything that has been bothering you. Communicating with your provider like this ensures we have the best information about your health and can make the most informed decisions.
