Dr. George and his staff have been outstanding in assisting me. He conducted a thorough exam and answered all my questions. From the moment he walked in, I knew I had found my new primary care provider. He took the time to get to know me and address any concerns I had. After my lab work, he followed up with the results and provided a comprehensive game plan. I highly recommend visiting him for all your healthcare needs.
I am very impressed following my first appointment with Dr. Shawn George D.O.! He was knowledgeable, thorough, kind and took the necessary time to understand my issues and concerns. He said he would call me with my bloodwork results, and he did – with helpful recommendations. I would recommend Dr. Shawn George D.O. to any man or woman in search of compassionate and excellent medical care.
The service was great, the team was awesome and they explained to me in Spanish many things that I didn’t understand. The doctors were so kind and explained to me everything with detail. Thank you so much for making easy this part of my immigration process.
Even if you’re feeling well, an annual physical can identify potential health issues before they become serious. Early detection is crucial for conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart disease, which may not show symptoms until they’re advanced.
You should bring a list of any medications you’re currently taking, including over-the-counter medications and supplements. If you have any health concerns or symptoms, note those down to discuss with your provider. You should also have information about your family medical history if it’s changed.
Routine blood tests and screenings may be recommended depending on your age, risk factors, and health history. These could include cholesterol tests, blood sugar levels, or other diagnostic tests to evaluate your overall health.
The exam usually takes between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on any tests required or health concerns you may want to discuss. If additional screenings are needed, such as lab work or diagnostic imaging, those might be scheduled for another time.
If you have a chronic condition like diabetes or hypertension, an annual physical allows us to monitor how well the condition is being managed and adjust treatments as necessary. It also helps prevent complications by ensuring that your medications and management plan are effective.
If we identify any health issues that require specialized care during your annual physical, we will refer you to an appropriate specialist and help coordinate the next steps in your care.
