Health History Review
Review recent health changes, previous diagnoses, family history, hospital visits and care received from other physicians.
Your annual physical should be more than a quick set of vital signs. At IASIS Boutique Health, Dr. Georgios Karanastasis provides comprehensive annual physical exams for adults who want time to discuss their health, review their results and build a personalized preventive care plan.
An annual physical exam is an opportunity to review your current health, identify possible risk factors and make sure important preventive care is not being overlooked.
The exact exam should be based on your age, medical history, medications, family history, symptoms and individual risks. Not every patient needs the same tests or screening schedule.
At IASIS Boutique Health, your annual visit is part of an ongoing physician relationship. Dr. Karanastasis can evaluate current concerns while also reviewing changes in your health over time.
