Why a Well Visit?

  • Well visits help you stay healthy and catch any problems early.
  • Gives you time to talk with your doctor about concerns such as relationships, school, work, stress levels, and your living situation.
  • Helps you learn to manage your health as an adult.

What to Expect During Your Visit:

  • A physical checkup that may include checking your blood pressure, height and weight.
  • A review of your medical history.
  • Talk about care you get from other doctors.
  • Plan any needed screening and preventative services.
  • Your doctor may ask questions about your overall health.

Tests and Vaccines:

It is important to stay up to date on your vaccines. Talk to your doctor about which vaccines are right for you. Also, get any tests that you and your doctor decide on. Your doctor may recommend screening tests for high cholesterol, hearing, depression, and other things. Screening tests help your doctor look for a certain condition before any symptoms appear.
