Preventive Medicine & Annual Physicals
An annual physical is the easiest way to catch small problems before they become big ones. Your physician checks your overall health, runs the right screenings for your age, and gives you a clear picture of where you stand.
Preventive medicine focuses on keeping you healthy instead of only treating you when you are sick. It includes annual physicals, routine blood work, screenings based on your age and risk factors, vaccine updates, and honest conversations about sleep, stress, diet, and habits. The goal is to find issues early, when they are easiest to treat.
Everyone benefits from a yearly checkup, even if you feel fine. It is especially important if you have a family history of heart disease, diabetes, or cancer, if it has been more than a year since your last physical, or if you have symptoms you have been putting off. Adults of all ages are welcome at Seven Hills.
Regular preventive care is one of the best ways to catch problems early, when they are simplest to treat, and to build a relationship with a physician who knows your history. Most preventive visits are covered by insurance at little or no cost. Staying ahead of issues beats reacting to them.
Your visit starts with a conversation about your health history and any concerns. Your physician then performs a full exam, orders labs if needed, and reviews everything with you in plain language. You leave with a clear plan, whether that is simply coming back next year or following up on something specific.
Your physical is performed and interpreted by a physician who reviews your history, tailors your screenings to your age and risk, and turns the findings into a clear plan. Nothing important gets left to guesswork.
Seven Hills is physician-led, so preventive care connects directly to whatever you need next, from managing a condition to weight or hormone care, all in one place across Brooklyn, Franklin Square, and Melville, NY. Book your annual physical to get a clear picture of your health.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about preventive medicine & annual physicals.
Most adults should have a physical once a year. If you are managing a condition like high blood pressure or diabetes, your physician may want to see you more often to keep things on track.
A typical visit includes a review of your health history, a head-to-toe exam, blood pressure and vital checks, and blood work when appropriate. Screenings are tailored to your age, sex, and risk factors, so no two physicals look exactly alike.
If your visit includes blood work such as cholesterol or blood sugar testing, fasting for 8 to 12 hours beforehand gives the most accurate results. When you book, the team will let you know whether fasting is needed.
Most insurance plans cover an annual preventive visit at little or no cost to you. The team can help you verify your benefits before your appointment so there are no surprises.
That is exactly what the visit is for. Your physician explains what was found, what it means, and what happens next. Many issues caught early are simple to manage, and you will have a clear plan before you leave.
