Annual Physicals & Preventive Care in Henderson, NV
A real yearly exam, not a 10-minute rubber stamp. We use your annual visit to catch problems early, plan for the year ahead, and answer the questions you've been saving up.
What's included in an annual physical
Your annual physical is the foundation of long-term primary care. We take time to review your history, do a thorough exam, order appropriate screenings, and walk you out with a clear plan, not a stack of vague follow-up instructions.
- Comprehensive head-to-toe physical exam tailored to your age, sex, and risk factors
- Vital signs, BMI, blood pressure trends and a discussion of what they mean
- Medication review and refills for an entire year when appropriate
- Lab work: cholesterol panel, blood sugar/A1c, kidney and liver function, thyroid as indicated
- Cancer screenings: colon cancer, breast/cervical, prostate, skin and lung when appropriate
- Cardiovascular risk assessment and lifestyle planning
- Immunizations including flu, COVID, shingles, pneumonia, Tdap, and travel vaccines
- Mental health screening for depression, anxiety, and sleep concerns
Who should schedule an annual physical?
Every adult, every year. Even if you feel well. Many of the most common chronic conditions, high blood pressure, prediabetes, high cholesterol, thyroid disease, are silent until they're not. Annual physicals are how we find them early.
If you're on Medicare, your free Annual Wellness Visit is a separate covered benefit. Ask our office whether both visits can be scheduled together.
Children age 2 and older can be seen too. Our family nurse practitioner provides well-child checkups and school and sports physicals for Las Vegas and Henderson families, described on our pediatric and adolescent care page. Older adults who want a primary care relationship built around aging can read about geriatric primary care.
Preventive care is more than one visit
We build your prevention plan around what's most likely to actually help you, not a checklist. That means real conversations about exercise, sleep, stress, alcohol, and the screenings that matter most for your age and family history.
What to bring
- A list of current medications and supplements
- A photo ID
- Records or names of recent specialists, if you have them
- Questions, write them down, we'll work through them together
