What is routine physical?

A routine physical is a preventive health exam designed to catch problems before they catch up with you, and help keep you in good health. This routine exam also helps you maintain a relationship with our practice, as well as allowing us to better coordinate care with you and other providers, ensure your health information is updated, and provide refills if necessary.

What is a follow up visit for a doctor?

Your provider will flag signs of a potential problem and discuss them with you. A follow-up office visit may be recommended to review any abnormal findings. Otherwise, we will convey your results to you through MyChart.

What exam do you do if you don't have a gynecologist?

We do a breast and pelvic exam with Pap smear, if you do not have a gynecologist. We may also check for sexually transmitted infections.

Is a preventive exam the same as a regular appointment?

Important Note: Your preventive exam is different than a regular appointment. We cannot sufficiently address your preventive health needs if also asked to address treatment of chronic or acute issues such as a cold, injury, etc. Please schedule a separate appointment for these needs.

Does Inova have a Holter monitor?

Inova General Internal Medicine Group uses non-invasive tests such as echocardiography to diagnose and prevent heart-related illness and limit the need for invasive procedures such as surgery or heart catheterization. This is available onsite, but only on recommendation of your medical physician. We will soon be offering Holter monitors, as well.
