Remember that “Prevention is always better than cure”
This can be especially true when it comes to preventive care services. Maintaining or improving your health with regular preventive care, along with following the advice of Dr Rivka, can help you stay healthy.
Routine checkups and screenings can help you avoid serious health problems, allowing you and Dr Rivka to work as a team to manage your overall health, and help you reach your personal health and wellness goals.
What is Preventive Care?
Preventive care focuses on evaluating your current health status when you are symptom-free. Preventive care allows you to obtain early diagnosis and treatment, to help avoid more serious health problems. Even if you’re in the best shape of your life, a serious condition with no signs or symptoms may put your health at risk.
Through a preventive exam and routine health screenings, your doctor can determine your current health status and detect early warning signs of more serious problems.
Your preventive care services may include immunizations, physical exams, lab work and x-rays.
During your preventive visit, Dr Rivka will determine what tests or health screenings are right for you based on many factors such as your age, gender, overall health status, personal health history and your current health condition.
