Comprehensive Physical Examination
This is the very heart of our practice. The CPE is essential to
maintaining wellness, evaluating for early diseases following recommended
periodic screening protocols, and monitoring the quality care of multiple
complex medical problems. The CPE consists of a detailed history, both
personal and family; a review of medical systems; a history of any new
complaints or problems; a thorough, comprehensive medical examination.
Ancillary testing and services at the CPE include: EKG (for heart
monitoring); Chest X-ray (when applicable); and urinalysis. Blood
analysis includes: a metabolic profile (electrolytes, glucose, kidney
function, liver function); lipid panel (cholesterol and component parts);
complete blood count (CBC); and thyroid functions. For men, a Prostate
Cancer Screening (PSA) is included. CPEs are sex / age appropriate. Not
all testing is necessary every year.
EKG
12 lead Cardiac Monitor. Results discussed with you at the time of your
visit. Additional testing may be recommended based on these results.
X-ray
Our office has the capability to perform some limited X-rays on our
patients. Results are discussed with you at the time of your visit.
Our office reserves the right to order X-rays outside of our facility if
clinically needed.
Urinalysis
Photometric automated analysis for blood, sugar, protein, and infection.
Spirometry
Evaluation of breathing performance, used to assess for chronic lung
disease (COPD) in smokers and evaluation of asthmatics.
NMR Lipoprofile
Advanced lipid testing that is highly useful in detecting cholesterol
abnormalities that may not be seen with the regular Lipid Panel. This may
be recommended based on a variety of factors.
Blood Analysis
A wide range of blood tests are available. These vary from routine
screening tests to complex diagnostic evaluations. Our office uses the
services of Quest Labs and Lab Corp only.
