Comprehensive Physical Examination
Comprehensive physical examination, also simply known as a "physical", is a process in which the physician examines various organ systems and parts of the patient's body. "Physical" is the cornerstone of preventive medicine. It is far better to prevent disease than to treat it, and better to treat it early before it becomes worse.
Screening patients at regular intervals help physicians to detect disease before the presence of symptoms and create good doctor patient relationship.Physical examination in our office is EXPRESS.

Electrocardiography (ECG)
Electrocardiography (ECG) is a transthoracic (across the thorax or chest) interpretation of the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time, as detected by electrodes attached to the outer surface of the skin and recorded by a device external to the body.
The recording produced by this noninvasive procedure is termed an electrocardiogram (also ECG). The ECG device detects and amplifies the tiny electrical changes on the skin that are caused when the heart muscle depolarizes during each heartbeat. The ECG device measures your heart rate, rhythm and function.

Thickness Blood - Coumadin Level (INR Test)
Coumadin is an anticoagulant. It is most likely to be the drug popularly referred to as a "blood thinner," yet this is a misnomer, since it does not affect the thickness or viscosity of blood. Instead, it acts on the liver to decrease the quantity of a few key proteins in blood that allow blood to clot. Coumadin was found to be effective and relatively safe for preventing thrombosis and embolism (abnormal formation and migration of blood clots) in many disorders.
The CoaguChek S System allows coagulation testing with a finger-stick capillary blood sample or non-anticoagulated venous whole blood. Prothrombin time testing helps physicians monitor their patients on oral anticoagulation therapy in order to adjust their medication levels to the prescribed therapeutic or target range. Patients who are taking coumadin know that it needs frequent testing. The finger-stick testing is very convenient for our patients.
- Prevention of blood clots: regular monitoring of INR levels helps ensure that the blood is thin enough to prevent dangerous clots that can lead to heart attacks, strokes, or pulmonary embolisms.
- Reduced risk of bleeding: by maintaining the correct INR range, the risk of excessive bleeding, a common side effect of blood thinners, is minimized.
- Dosage adjustment: INR test results help healthcare providers determine if the Coumadin dosage needs to be adjusted to achieve the optimal therapeutic range.
- Improved treatment effectiveness: consistent monitoring of INR levels ensures that the Coumadin treatment is working effectively to prevent blood clots without causing excessive bleeding.
Pulmonary Function Test (PFTs)
Pulmonary function tests are a group of tests that measure how well the lungs take in and release air and how well they move gases such as oxygen from the atmosphere into the body's circulation.
You breathe into a mouthpiece that is connected to an instrument called a spirometer. The spirometer records the amount and the rate of air that you breathe in and out over a period of time. For some of the test measurements, you can breathe normally and quietly. Other tests require forced inhalation or exhalation after a deep breath.
- Early detection of lung disease: PFTs can help identify lung conditions like asthma, COPD, or pulmonary fibrosis in their early stages, allowing for timely treatment.
- Accurate diagnosis: PFTs provide valuable information about lung function, aiding in the diagnosis of various respiratory conditions and ruling out other potential causes of symptoms.
- Monitoring disease progression: Regular PFTs can track the progression of lung diseases, helping doctors adjust treatment plans as needed and assess the effectiveness of therapies.
- Evaluating treatment options: PFTs can help determine the best treatment approach for lung conditions, such as medications, pulmonary rehabilitation, or surgery.
Intravenous (IV) Vitamins & Hydration
Intravenous (IV) vitamin and hydration therapy offers several potential benefits. By bypassing the digestive system, nutrients and fluids are delivered directly into the bloodstream, allowing for rapid absorption and higher concentrations than oral supplements. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with digestive issues or those experiencing severe dehydration.
Proponents also suggest that IV therapy can help boost energy levels, strengthen the immune system, reduce inflammation, and improve overall well-being.
- Rapid nutrient delivery: bypassing the digestive system, IV vitamins and hydration allow for direct and immediate absorption into the bloodstream.
- Enhanced hydration: IV fluids can quickly replenish bodily fluids, especially in cases of severe dehydration.
- Potential immune system support: some vitamins included in IV therapy may contribute to a stronger immune response.
- Increased energy level: improved hydration and nutrient delivery can lead to increased energy and reduced fatigue.
