Yearly Physicals

Each year you should get a physical done so your doctor can get a general idea of your current health and how it has progressed. This process is important to your overall health. These visits allow us to discuss any concerns you may have health wise. We can also track how any health concerns have progressed since the last year you were in. 

Your Yearly Physical with Advanced Primary Medicine isn’t only good for helping us update your medical records. It also helps us catch any new ailments early. Another benefit of a Yearly Physical is that they allow both you, and us to assess your overall health.
