Does primary care include health screenings?
Chronic diseases develop for years without causing symptoms. By the time you experience a symptom alerting you to a potential problem, the disease has already become well-established.
Health screenings find early signs of disease long before you have symptoms and early enough to prevent or stop it from progressing to an advanced stage.
Certain health screenings are recommended for everyone at a specific age. Other health screenings are important if you have a high risk for a chronic condition.
Dr. Hundert performs some health screenings and refers you to specialists for others. For example, he routinely screens:
- High blood pressure
- Blood sugar
- Cholesterol levels
- Skin cancer
- Vision
- Hearing
He also screens for prostate and breast cancer and runs routine blood work to check for common problems like hormone imbalances and liver and kidney disease.
Other important screenings performed by specialists include:
- Colonoscopy (to screen for colon cancer)
- Mammogram (to screen for breast cancer)
- Low-dose CT scans (to screen for lung cancer)
- Bone density scan (to screen for osteoporosis)
Dr. Hundert reminds you when it’s time for a health screening and refers you to an appropriate provider if needed.
