Why Annual Physicals Matter More Than You Think
Most people skip their annual physical because they feel fine. But a yearly exam isn't about finding problems — it's about preventing them. A routine visit gives your provider a full picture of your health so they can catch risk factors early, review your medications, and update your care plan before things escalate.
What your annual physical includes at Anchor Restorative Medicine:
Full head-to-toe physical examination
Blood pressure, heart rate, and vital signs review
Lab work and bloodwork panel (fasting or non-fasting as needed)
Cancer screening referrals based on age and risk factors
Chronic condition check-in if applicable
Medication review and refill as needed
Personalized lifestyle and preventative care recommendations

Who Should Schedule an Annual Physical?
Annual physicals are for every adult — not just those managing a condition. If you haven't had a checkup in over a year, or you've never established care with a primary care provider, this is the right place to start.
An annual physical is especially important if you:
Haven't seen a primary care provider in 12+ months
Are managing a chronic condition like diabetes, hypertension, or high cholesterol
Have a family history of heart disease, cancer, or other hereditary conditions
Want baseline labs to track your health over time
Need a physical for school, work, or insurance purposes
*Annual physicals are recommended for all adults regardless of current health status.
Process Overview
What to Expect at Your Annual Physical
1. Health History Review
We start by reviewing your medical history, current medications, family history, and any concerns you want to address. No clipboard and a clock — we take our time.
2. Physical Examination
Your provider performs a comprehensive exam including vitals, organ systems review, and any age-appropriate screenings.
3. Lab Work
We order bloodwork tailored to your age, history, and risk factors. Results are typically available within a few days and reviewed with you.
4. Care Plan & Follow-Up
Based on findings, your provider will make recommendations, issue any necessary referrals, and schedule follow-ups if needed.
