Just as you need regular service to maintain the life of your car, the annual physical serves a purpose, extending the healthy years you can enjoy. Of course, you don’t require oil changes every 3,000 miles, so perhaps the analogy ends there.
There are real benefits to annual physicals with your primary care physician that could add years to your life. At Nizar A Tejani, MD PC, we’re honored to be your choice for primary care. Dr. Tejani counts many fellow healthcare professionals and their families as patients.
When you examine the benefits of an annual physical, we think you’ll agree that this once-a-year appointment can make a difference in your health and life.
Perhaps the biggest benefit of having a long-term primary care physician is the value of a personal relationship. As a patient, you have the opportunity to build understanding and trust with Dr. Tejani.
Your medical history becomes more than a series of notes in a file. Dr. Tejani and his staff build rapport with you and your family and develop an ingrained knowledge of you and your health. We can see the differences from appointment to appointment that you can’t expect from walk-in clinics or urgent care facilities.
Other benefits of annual physicals include:
Many chronic health issues slowly ramp up to become serious conditions. Annual physicals provide an informed basis for spotting the early signs of disease and illness for which you may be most at risk.
Patients with diabetes, high blood pressure, or other common chronic diseases have an elevated risk of other conditions, as well as needing regular care in the form of prescriptions, related testing, and lifestyle interventions.
The quickest way to good health is preserving it before it’s threatened. You can do much under Dr. Tejani’s care that helps you sidestep threats to your wellness.
Vaccines are an excellent example. Without these, you’d still be at risk of serious health problems like smallpox and polio.
Count on Dr. Tejani and his team for education, too. We’re your go-to source when you have questions about health-related issues. The better you understand how your body functions, the greater the chances you can make informed choices for your health and your life.
