Why is preventive care important?

One of the most important components of medicine is preventive care. The purpose of preventive care is to monitor a patient’s health over time and screen for common problems, such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure. 

Screening for these issues allows Dr. Hassler and his staff at Optimus Medical Group Inc to diagnose health problems before they become serious and provide prompt treatment. Preventive care appointments also give the patient an opportunity to ask questions and get advice from Dr. Hassler to improve their overall health.

What happens during an annual checkup?

During an annual checkup, a member of the staff at Optimus Medical Group Inc begins by taking the patient’s vitals, including temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate. The staff member also weighs the patient at this time. Next, Dr. Hassler performs a thorough physical examination. They may also ask questions about specific symptoms or health issues the patient may be experiencing. Depending on the patient’s age and the results of the exam, the doctor may order blood work or other tests to screen for health problems or investigate certain symptoms. Finally, the patient may receive any necessary immunizations and medication refills during this appointment.
