What is an annual wellness visit?

An annual wellness visit is a preventive service designed to evaluate your overall health and help identify potential risks before they become more serious. Unlike a traditional physical exam, this focuses on long-term wellness through assessment, education, and proactive planning. It’s an opportunity to review your current lifestyle, set achievable health goals, and catch early warning signs of chronic or preventable conditions.

At Nile Family Medicine, Dr. Patel and her team take time to review your health history, discuss your goals, and develop a personalized plan to help you maintain or improve your well-being throughout the year.

What happens during an annual wellness visit?

Your visit begins with a thorough review of your medical history, current medications, and any recent changes in your health. The team will check vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, and weight, and may recommend lab work or additional screenings based on your age, lifestyle, or family history.

During your annual wellness visit, you can expect:

• A review of your personal and family health history
• Routine preventive screenings and lab orders as needed
• Review of medications and supplements
• Assessment of risk factors for chronic diseases
• Vaccination updates and recommendations
• Development of a personalized wellness plan

If needed, Dr. Patel can coordinate follow-up appointments, referrals, or additional testing to ensure you have the resources needed to stay healthy and informed.

Who should schedule an annual wellness visit?

Annual wellness visits are ideal for adults of all ages, especially those managing chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or high cholesterol. These visits are also a great way for anyone looking to stay proactive about their long-term health to track progress toward wellness goals and build a consistent care routine with their provider.

What are the benefits of an annual wellness visit?

Regular wellness visits promote early detection of health issues, reduce long-term risks, and strengthen the doctor-patient relationship. These visits empower you to take charge of your health through education, prevention, and planning for the year ahead.
