What Is an Annual Visit?
An annual visit is a comprehensive wellness appointment designed to assess your overall health, review your medical history, and identify any concerns before they become problems. It is also an opportunity to update immunizations, discuss lifestyle habits, and set health goals for the year ahead.
What Happens During an Annual Visit
- We review your health history and any changes since your last visit.
- A full physical exam is completed from head to toe.
- Lab work or screenings appropriate for your age and risk factors are ordered.
- We discuss your overall wellness, medications, and any questions you have.
There is no limit to what you can bring up. This visit belongs to you.
What Your Annual Visit May Cover
Depending on your age, history, and needs, your annual visit may include:
- Blood pressure, weight, and vital signs review
- Bloodwork including cholesterol, blood sugar, and thyroid levels
- Cancer screenings and referrals as recommended
- Immunization review and updates
- Medication review and adjustments
- Discussion of mental health and lifestyle factors
- Personalized health goals for the year ahead

Seeing your provider once a year, even when you feel fine, helps catch changes early, keeps your health records current, and gives you a reliable benchmark for your wellbeing over time.
Is an annual visit the same as a physical?
They are similar. Both include a comprehensive exam and health review. We may use the terms interchangeably, and our team will make sure your visit covers everything you need.
What should I bring to my annual visit?
Bring your insurance card, a list of current medications, and any questions or concerns you would like to discuss. If you have records from other providers, those are helpful too.
Can I address a sick concern at my annual visit?
It depends. Wellness visits and sick visits are often billed differently by insurance. Let our team know in advance if you have acute concerns so we can schedule appropriately.
How do I schedule my annual visit?
