Health Care Screenings

Our office provides a range of wellness screenings to gather general medical information to check the status of a patient’s overall wellness.

What Are Health Care Screenings?

Health screenings are vital preventive measures that involve tests, assessments, or examinations designed to detect potential health issues early, often before symptoms appear. 

These proactive evaluations in West Palm Beach, FL help identify risk factors, monitor existing conditions, and ensure timely interventions. Screenings encompass a range of health aspects, from cholesterol levels and blood pressure to cancer screenings and diabetes checks. 

By undergoing regular screenings, individuals can make informed decisions about their well-being, catch diseases at more manageable stages, and work closely with our team at Gard Wellness Solutions to develop personalized health plans.

Health Care Screening FAQ

How long does it take to get the results of a health care screening?

Some results can be almost instant, like a blood pressure screening. Other screenings that require lab work or special testing may take longer, with many lab results able to be returned within two weeks. During your consultation, we can talk to you about the different return times of our various health care screenings.

No, most of the testing isn’t even invasive. Other health screenings require a blood draw, so that means a small amount of blood needs to be taken via syringe. But even a blood draw causes only minor discomfort and is over quickly.

The majority of physicians and medical professionals suggest yearly physical exams, especially for women over the age of 21. During a routine exam, we may recommend various types of screenings depending on your current health and/or symptoms. Health care screenings can be done any time you are experiencing concerning symptoms or simply want to gain peace of mind.

Our staff will provide specific instructions based on the type of screening. This may include fasting before a blood test or special preparations for certain diagnostic procedures.

If a screening suggests an issue, our team will discuss the results with you and recommend further tests or treatments as needed. Early intervention is key to managing health conditions effectively.
