What should I expect during my physical exam?

When you arrive at one of the New York Medical Vascular Care for a physical examination, you will complete the following:

Vital Signs Check

During a vital signs check, your provider evaluates your weight, blood pressure, temperature, and pulse.

Physical Examination

During the physical examination, the providers evaluate your heartbeat, breathing, reflexes, eyes, ears, throat, and more. They might also test your hearing and vision.

For women, New York Medical Vascular Care providers perform a breast exam and pelvic exam to evaluate reproductive health and a pap test to screen for signs of cervical cancer. The specialist might recommend a prostate exam in men at risk for prostate cancer. The physical exams for children assess their growth, development, and overall health.

Do you experience leg fatigue, cramping, and pain? You might have Peripheral Vascular Disease.

Medical History Reviews

Your specialist reviews your personal and family medical history. They ask about your medications, past diagnoses and treatments, prior surgeries, and any symptoms you have.

Diagnostic Testing

Diagnostic tests help your specialist detect or rule out specific medical problems. They might recommend you undergo allergy testing, asthma tests, nasal or throat swabs, urine tests, blood tests, an electrocardiogram (EKG), X-rays, or other imaging procedures.

Treatment as Needed

After receiving the diagnostic test results, your provider might recommend that you undergo treatments, including medical weight loss, dietary and exercise changes, medications, dietary supplements, further diagnostic testing, physical therapy, or a minimally invasive procedure. They can also refer you to specialists as needed.
