When was your last wellness exam? We recommend that clients schedule a well woman exam annually. These exams can help catch problems early, and prevent chronic health problems from developing. We also like to see this as a time to look at any health goals you may have and to support the excellent health journey you have begun. Remember: an annual well woman exam is a key component of your long-term health plan.

During your visit, we’ll review health topics relevant to your age, and conduct a comprehensive physical examination.
