Annual Physical Exams at Upper Echelon
The first stage of your yearly physical exam involves a comprehensive review of your medical history and current health concerns. Your Upper Echelon Medical provider will address any questions you have and discuss any issues, such as vague symptoms like fatigue, that may be troubling you.
The next stage is the physical exam itself. During this part of your annual exam, your provider will weigh you, measure your blood pressure,heart rate, and breathing, and listen to your heart and lung sounds.
