Visiting your physician for a comprehensive executive physical is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure a lifetime of good health. But if you’re feeling well, this preventive health care step can get pushed a to the back seat, behind family, career and home responsibilities.
But preventing the development of health complications and disease is more effective than curing health issues later on.
Annual physicals are routine exams that evaluate your whole-body wellness. They provide an opportunity to identify changes in your body that could lead to health complications, giving you a chance to make lifestyle changes to keep yourself as healthy as possible.
Sasan Massachi, MD, is a well-known internal medicine and concierge medicine practice serving people in Beverly Hills, California. Here’s what Dr. Massachi wants you to know about the importance of an annual physical.
