Wellness Visits Q & A

Wellness visits at Primora Primary Care are comprehensive medical evaluations that assess your overall physical and mental health and screen for diseases. These annual check-ups can detect potential concerns before they cause unpleasant symptoms or serious complications. Schedule a wellness check-up each year to maximize your physical and mental well-being.

What happens during wellness visits?

Wellness visits with Dr. Kommalapti at Primora Primary Care often consist of the following:

Vital signs check

A provider weighs you, calculates your body mass index (BMI), and checks your pulse and blood pressure to screen for potential concerns. 

Medical history review

Dr. Kommalapti discusses your medical history in detail. This includes your medications, lifestyle habits, past diagnoses, surgeries, family history of diseases, and more. 

Physical exam

During a physical exam, Dr. Kommalapti evaluates your breathing, heartbeat, throat, neck, reflexes, limbs, and other areas to ensure you’re in good health and to screen for visible signs of potential medical concerns. He offers prostate exams to men and breast and pelvic exams (including Pap tests) to women. 

Health screenings

Depending on your medical history, age, and risk factors, you might need lab testing, imaging procedures, or other diagnostic tests. Such testing helps diagnose new medical conditions or determine how well you’re managing a current concern. Primora Primary Care also offers mental health evaluations to screen for depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders.

If you need treatment for an illness, injury, or disease, Primora Primary Care provides medication management, medical weight loss, chronic disease management, mental health care, and other treatments that help you manage medical concerns or avoid complications.
