F.A.Q.
What does a preventative exam include?
The first part of your exam includes an evaluation of your health status, including a discussion of any current problems you may be experiencing and a complete health history in order to identify potential risk factors like a family history of heart disease or cancer. These evaluations can help Dr. Nusinovich determine which screening tests to order to screen for possible disease. Once the medical history is complete, the exam itself may include a variety of evaluations and tests, such as:
-blood pressure
-urine or fecal tests
-blood work
-osteoporosis or bone density screening
When tests cannot be performed in the office, Dr. Nusinovich will provide you with a form that you can take to a lab or diagnostic center so you may have them completed there. In some cases, Dr. Nusinovich may order these tests before your appointment so he can review the results with you during your exam. Based on the results of your exam and health screenings, he'll discuss recommendations for treatment or lifestyle changes to help optimize your health.
