MDPlus

Tests and Procedures

MDPlus begins in the morning with all exams, interviews and screenings completed that same day. The physician reviews with you the results of many of the tests and exams in a personal interview at the end of your day. We understand your time is valuable. Therefore, all medical personnel will have a copy of your schedule to make sure the day moves along accordingly. We want this experience to be as relaxed and comfortable as possible.

During your day, you can expect the following:

Medical Examination
Our physician will spend the first hour and a half with you obtaining a complete, comprehensive history, physical and health risk assessment.

Blood Analysis
Blood will be drawn in order to have complete blood work performed including but not limited to: a metabolic panel, lipid panel (cholesterol), CBC and protein check.

Imaging Services
Each patient will receive a chest x-ray and cardiac scoring; a mammogram will be performed for all female patients. An Ankle Brachial Index and Carotid Ultrasound are also included to test for any potential heart or vascular problems.

Strength/Flexibility Testing
Strength and flexibility testing will be performed by our exercise physiologist and rated by clinical standards. Body Mass Index, body composition, and girth measurements will be taken at this time. Recommendations to improve strength and flexibility will be offered based on your individual test results.

Lifestyle Recommendations
Lifestyle recommendations will be reviewed with our registered nurse during lunch.  These recommendations will be based on the physician’s notes and will be customized to your individual needs.

Nutritional Assessment
Our dietician will assess your nutritional status based on a personal interview, notes from the exercise physiologist and community resource nurse and a review of your lab results.  The dietitian will make recommendations to assist you in improving your nutritional status and in accomplishing any weight loss/gain goals you may have.

Massage Therapy
To help you relax through a full day of medical testing we offer a soothing therapeutic massage performed by a licensed massage therapist.
