What Can I Expect During My Wellness Consultation?
In one of our comfortable treatment rooms at BHFS Medical, one of our skilled physicians will meet with you for your wellness visit or physical. You may be visiting for your own peace of mind or to meet the required needs of your insurance. During this visit, we will assess your height, weight, blood pressure, blood glucose, blood cholesterol, and more during a biometric health screening. Based on your blood work and what we determine during your physical, we can help you determine a course of action on how to maintain your overall health. Follow-up visits can also be scheduled on an as-needed basis.
