Annual Physicals

Annual physicals help you monitor chronic health conditions, keep up preventive care, and identify potential new health issues before they grow severe. At Cyrus Medical Office in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, Golali Nejati, MD, and the team offer convenient annual physicals. The practice also offers services such as electrocardiograms (EKGs) and can take blood samples on-site. Call the New York City office or request an appointment online today. 

Why are annual physical exams necessary?

Annual physical exams are necessary for a few different reasons, including:

Health goals

During an annual physical, you discuss your personal health needs and goals. By taking these things over with Dr. Nejati, you’re helping him create a highly personalized health care plan. 

Screening

Screenings can spot emerging issues while they’re still minor, often before you even experience any symptoms. Dr. Nejati performs necessary screenings like blood tests and electrocardiograms (EKGs) on-site as part of your annual physical.

Maintenance

Your annual physical includes maintenance of health conditions like arthritis, back pain, diabetes, and hypertension. Dr. Nejati can renew prescriptions, provide guidance about lifestyle changes, and help you manage your condition with maximum efficiency.

Preventive care

Preventive care includes specific guidance to help you avoid serious illness and disease. Dr. Nejati recommends weight loss or other lifestyle changes to help you avoid conditions like hypertension and diabetes. 

If you’re serious about good health, you need your annual physicals. 

What happens during annual physicals?

During an annual physical at Cyrus Medical Office, Dr. Nejati checks your:

• Medical history
• Vital signs
• Heart exam
• Lung exam
• Head and neck exam
• Mouth and throat exam
• Abdominal exam
• Skin exam
• Neurological exam, including reflex check
• Necessary screenings

Your annual physical is a comprehensive health checkup, so Dr. Nejati may also perform additional exams and tests based on your personal needs. 

How do I get ready for annual physicals?

The team at Cyrus Medical Office tells you how to prepare at least several days prior to your annual physical. If Dr. Nejati is already your primary care physician, he has all your health history on hand, so he can tell you which tests and screenings to prepare for. If you’re new to the practice, bringing in your medical records is a great idea; otherwise, Dr. Nejati compiles a history before starting the annual physical.

If you’re having blood work or an EKG done, you may need to make special preparations, like fasting prior to the appointment or wearing sneakers and lightweight clothing.
