Preventive Care
Preventive Care
Protecting Your Health Before Problems Start At ApexMed Primary Care Shavano, we believe that the best healthcare doesn’t just treat illness—it prevents it. Our preventive care services are designed to keep you healthy through all stages of life by identifying risk factors early and helping you avoid serious medical issues down the road. With regular exams, screenings, and immunizations, we focus on maintaining your well-being and catching any concerns before they become major problems.
Annual Exams and Wellness Visits
Routine check-ups are a cornerstone of preventive care. During your annual wellness exam, our providers take a close look at your overall health, review your medical history, and perform a physical exam. These visits are also a great opportunity to discuss any changes in your health, lifestyle, or medications. We may recommend additional tests based on your age, risk factors, or symptoms to ensure a complete picture of your health. These yearly visits help us monitor your progress and make timely decisions to support your long-term wellness.
Screenings to Detect Issues Early
Early detection is key when it comes to many conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and certain types of cancer. At ApexMed, we offer a wide range of screenings to identify potential health problems before symptoms appear. Depending on your needs, we may recommend cholesterol testing, blood sugar checks, cancer screenings, or bone density tests. These preventive measures allow us to intervene early, making treatment simpler and more effective.
Staying Up to Date with Immunizations
Immunizations play a vital role in preventing the spread of infectious diseases. We follow the latest CDC guidelines to ensure our patients receive the appropriate vaccines at every stage of life. From childhood immunizations and flu shots to COVID-19 vaccines and boosters, our team helps you stay protected. We also offer travel-related vaccines and immunizations for seniors, including pneumonia and shingles vaccines, as needed.
