Annual Wellness Visits
Annual wellness visits are your chance to step back once a year and focus on the big picture of your health-not just today's symptoms. These visits help us spot concerns early, protect your independence as you age, and map out simple steps to keep you feeling well in the year ahead.
We begin with preventive health planning, reviewing your medical history, current conditions, and family risk factors. Together we look at your numbers, screening results, and lifestyle, then create a written plan that covers which vaccines, tests, and visits you will need and when. This long-range view takes the guesswork out of staying up to date.
Because mental health is just as important as physical health, your wellness visit can include depression screening. Using brief, evidence-based questions, we check for signs of depression or anxiety that may be affecting your sleep, energy, appetite, or motivation. If concerns show up, we talk through options-from counseling referrals to medication discussions-and decide on next steps side by side.
Health maintenance counseling is woven throughout the visit. We break down complex topics like blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, and weight into clear explanations, so you understand what your goals should be and why. Then we talk about realistic, day-to-day changes you can make around food choices, movement, smoking or vaping, and stress management.
For patients with chronic conditions, the annual wellness visit also serves as a structured check-in to be sure your current plan is still working for you. You leave with an updated list of recommendations, a better understanding of your personal health risks, and a practical roadmap for the coming year that supports both your physical and emotional wellbeing.
