Your Executive Health Program begins when you schedule your appointment. To help us prepare for your time with us, you will receive a medical questionnaire to complete prior to your arrival. This is an important step because it provides valuable information to our medical team and allows us to personalize your visit.
During the visit, you will meet with members of our integrated medical and wellness team to:

At the end of the day, you will meet with a member of our medical team to debrief from your evaluation and arrange any specialist referrals that may be required. Also a follow-up appointment will be scheduled to review your test results in detail with your physician. Please note that if there is any medical concern with your results, you will be contacted immediately.
A few weeks after your Executive Health examination, you will meet with your physician for a thorough discussion of your test results and your personalized recommendations for maintaining a healthy lifestyle throughout the year.
