Direct Benefits

Includes a thorough history and detailed examination by your personal physician. Results and recommendations are presented in a personalized annual Treatment Summary. Each recommendation is reviewed and explained by your own doctor and integrated with your overall treatment plan.

Our annual assessment will typically include a comprehensive blood profile and laboratory evaluation, advanced cardiac risk stratification, lung function testing, prostate cancer screening, cervical cancer screening, hearing assessment, and oculovisual testing. As every patient is different, so too are their medical needs. For this reason, we believe in tailoring further investigations to address your individual needs and risks. This may include cardiac stress testing, CT coronary calcium score, low-dose lung CT scan, abdominal/pelvic ultrasound, colon cancer screening, bone density tests (dual x-ray absorptiometry), mammograms, and genetic screening.
