Is the “once year” visit when we focus in the screenings appropiate to
you: cholesterol check, screening for breast, colon, prostate cancer,
etc. . We also see if you need a shot and review your chart to be sure
we are doing every thing we need to. Dietary and healthy life
style counseling is usually provided. We usually allocate 30 minutes
for this.

diabetes, high blood pressure, ADD or to follow up after an
admission to the hospital or after you were diagnosed with an acute
problem (pneumonia, UTI) that needs to be check

We schedule it when you have an acute problem (a cold, fever, a skin
infection, cough, UTI etc) and we only talk about that particular
