Why Pre-Op Physicals and Routine Checkups Matter
Your Health, Your Peace of Mind
Whether you're preparing for surgery or just keeping up with your wellness, pre-op physicals and routine checkups play a crucial role in protecting your health. At Progressive Healthcare DPC, we make these visits simple, thorough, and patient-centered because prevention and preparation are key!
What is a Pre-Op Physical?
A pre-operative physical exam is a medical checkup required before a surgical procedure. Its goal is to:
Evaluate your overall health status
Identify any conditions or risks that could affect surgery or recovery
Ensure you’re medically cleared to proceed with anesthesia and surgery
We’ll typically check your vital signs, lungs, heart, and labs, and communicate directly with your surgeon to streamline care. With direct access to your provider, you avoid unnecessary delays or duplicate testing.
Why Routine Checkups Are Just as Important
You don’t need to wait for surgery to stay on top of your health. Annual physicals and routine wellness visits help:
Catch health problems early before symptoms appear
Track and manage chronic conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes
Keep you up to date on vaccines, labs, and screenings
Build a trusted relationship with your provider
At Progressive Healthcare DPC, we believe that proactive care is the best care. No rushed appointments, no red tape—just real conversations about your health goals.
