Since your insurance changed in January, you’ve meant to book a checkup, and it’s now been three years since your last one. You feel fine, but your father’s heart attack at 58 stays in the back of your mind, so annual physical appointments in Fairfax, VA are the place to start. Here’s what our physical exam page says Dr. Connie Le will go over with you at Annandale Primary Care.
Do You Need Blood Work at Annual Physical Appointments in Fairfax, VA?
Depending on your age, personal health and family history, our physical exam page notes, your doctor might focus on specific tests, such as diabetes and cholesterol screenings. Healthline suggests asking, “What screening tests are recommended for my age?” and “Which vaccines do I need?” In the event you’re due for a mammogram or a colon cancer screening, Dr. Le will talk through where to schedule it.
Can We Review My Medications, Vaccines and Family History at My Physical?
Yes. Our physical exam page notes that your doctor reviews the dates and results of previous preventive procedures, your family history and your past medical history, including your medications and previous surgeries. Your lifestyle comes up too, from sleeping habits to eating patterns. So, bring the age your father was at his heart attack, and Dr. Le will add it to your chart. Then, you’ll catch up on the vaccines you’ve missed.
Dr. Le has over 25 years of clinical experience, and Washingtonian and Northern Virginia Magazine have both recognized her as a Top Doctor. You can see her at our Fairfax office on Old Lee Highway or our Annandale office on Evergreen Lane.
