What are wellness exams?

Wellness exams are medical evaluations that screen for common illnesses, diseases, or injuries. Stoneleigh Primary Care experts assess your overall health and wellness, specializing in preventive care. They tailor any necessary treatments to match your needs.

Which conditions can wellness exams address?

Wellness exams can screen for the following:

• Delayed growth and development in children or teenagers
• Diabetes and other chronic diseases
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Injuries
• Allergies
• Asthma
• Hormone imbalances
• Skin, prostate, cervical, breast, and other cancers
• Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
• Menopause symptoms
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Vision problems
• Hearing impairment
• Irregular heartbeats

Wellness exams help pinpoint potential causes of fatigue, weight loss or gain, developmental delays in children, or irregular periods in women. 

What should I expect during wellness exams?

The Stoneleigh Primary Care team evaluates you or your child’s overall health during wellness exams. They assess body weight, body mass index (BMI), pulse, and blood pressure. Your provider also evaluates growth, development, and sometimes head circumference in children. 

They discuss any symptoms you may have and your medications, lifestyle, medical history, and more.

During a wellness exam, your provider listens to your heartbeat and breathing, completes pelvic and breast exams (if a woman and it is needed), offers prostate exams to men, and checks eyes, ears, neck, reflexes, limbs, and more.

If you’re a candidate for diagnostic testing, such as blood or urine tests, allergy testing, heart function tests, or on-site imaging procedures, Stoneleigh Primary Care orders these tests to properly diagnose health conditions and treat them effectively.

Treatments available at Stoneleigh Primary Care include:

• Prescription medication
• Medication management
• Hormone therapy 
• Birth control
• Botox®
• Chronic disease management
• Vaccinations
• Medical marijuana 
• Health education
• Medically supervised weight loss
• Specialist referrals

The practice also offers school, sports, work, and Department of Transportation (DOT) physicals. 

How often should I schedule wellness exams?

Book wellness exams at least once yearly to complete general health evaluations. Babies and young children need more frequent wellness checkups to assess growth and development. Call the Stoneleigh Primary Care office at any time with concerns or questions about your health. The practice offers same-day appointments for sick visits and other concerns requiring prompt care.
