The annual wellness exam allows Dr. DiMasi to identify any health conditions before they become a bigger problem. Catching medical concerns and treating them early allows for better outcomes.
The results from your exam also provide baseline data about you, which Dr. DiMasi can use for comparison purposes from year to year. If he notices an uptick in cholesterol, for example, he can address it with preventive action.
Your wellness exam is a great time to establish or deepen that patient-doctor relationship, especially if you don't see Dr. DiMasi any other time. At Premier Care Clinics, you get extra time with Dr. DiMasi, so you can fully discuss your concerns without feeling rushed.
