    Assessing your overall medical history

    Providing an array of diagnostic testing

    Recognizing symptoms of chronic diseases early

    Engaging in a long-term relationship with each patient

    Providing preventive care services to reduce the risk of chronic disease

    Helping the patient to assess and utilize financial and social resources to achieve the best healthcare

  • What can I expect during my annual physical exam?

    An annual physical exam is an excellent way for your Modern Concepts Medical Group provider to develop a well-rounded assessment of your overall health.


    If needed, a urine sample might be necessary to rule out a urinary tract infection, diabetes, or liver problems.


    During an annual exam, Modern Concepts Medical Group providers discuss your medical history and any current medical concerns. The Modern Concepts Medical Group team asks about certain lifestyle habits, such as nutrition, exercise, whether you smoke or drink, and your typical amount of rest and physical activity.


    The Modern Concepts Medical Group team can test your reflexes with a reflex hammer, and any chronic pain will be assessed. Your blood pressure is taken, and the medical provider will also listen to your heart and lungs to ensure everything seems normal.


    The Modern Concepts Medical Group team also checks lymph nodes, eyes, the thyroid gland, temperature, and skin.
