One hour a year for the rest of your life.
A thorough annual physical, in an unhurried visit, with a provider who actually remembers you. We catch what's coming before it becomes urgent — and most insurance plans cover it fully.
What an hour actually buys you.
Every annual physical is tailored to where you are in life — but here's what most adult exams cover.
Full Physical Exam
Vital signs, head-to-toe physical, heart and lung check, abdominal exam, joints, reflexes, skin check. The thorough exam most adults haven't had since they were a kid.
Bloodwork & Labs
Drawn on-site. CBC, comprehensive metabolic panel, lipid panel, A1c, thyroid — whichever your provider recommends based on your age, history, and risk factors. Results back in 1–2 days.
Blood Pressure & Heart Health
Detailed blood pressure check, heart sound evaluation, and EKG when indicated based on age, symptoms, or risk. Catching cardiovascular issues early is one of the highest-value parts of an annual physical.
Health History & Risk Review
A genuine conversation about how you've been feeling, your family history, your lifestyle, and what you're worried about. Not a checklist — a discussion that shapes the rest of the visit.
Vaccines & Screenings — On Your Terms
We won't push vaccines on you. We'll tell you what's available, answer your questions honestly, and respect your decision. The same goes for age-appropriate screenings — we recommend, you decide.
Personalized Plan
You leave with a clear summary of what's working, what to watch, and what to do next. Lifestyle recommendations, medication adjustments, follow-up timing — written down, not rushed through.
Most insurance plans cover annual physicals at 100% as preventive care. We'll verify your coverage before your visit so there are no surprises.
From scheduling the call to your follow-up plan.
An annual physical takes about an hour. Here's how the visit unfolds.
Schedule & prepare
Call (231) 753-1400 to schedule. We'll find a time that works, verify your insurance benefits, and let you know whether to fast for bloodwork. New patients can complete intake paperwork from home.
Typical Time
5 minutes on the phone
The visit itself
Arrive 15 minutes early for vitals, weight, and check-in. Then a thorough conversation with your provider, full physical exam, on-site bloodwork, and any vaccines or screenings you'd like to discuss. Unhurried, not rushed.
Typical Time
45–60 minutes
Results & follow-up
Lab results typically come back in 1–2 days. Your provider reviews them and reaches out with the plan — by phone, portal, or follow-up visit, depending on what's needed. Nothing falls through the cracks.
Results Back
Within 1–2 days
What to bring
- Insurance card and photo ID
