Annual Physical Exams Q & A
The Sure Medical Care clinic have a team of experts that can help patients with any health concerns or needs. One of the best ways to ensure your long-term health is to practice great preventive care, and that starts with your annual physical exam.

Your annual exam also provides you with the perfect opportunity to discuss any health concerns you may have with Dr. Sure. He can then recommend steps you can take to offset your risk, giving you valuable peace of mind.
When you first come in for your annual physical exam, Dr. Sure records your vital statistics, such as your:
- Heart rate
- Blood pressure
- Height and weight
- Body temperature
- Respiration rate
These numbers provide valuable clues about the state of your health and guide Dr. Sure in his exam.
With your vitals recorded, Dr. Sure spends some discussing any previous medical problems with you, as well as any new concerns you may have. He also ensures that your immunizations are up to date.
Then he begins his physical exam, in which he:
- Listens to your heart and lungs
- Examines your abdomen
- Checks your ears, eyes, nose, and throat
He also checks your general appearance, including the health of your skin, to ensure that you’re in the pink of health.
Either before or after your exam, Dr. Sure may collect blood and urine from you, which gives him a better idea about the internal functions in your body.
