What Is an Annual Exam?

An annual exam is a comprehensive health assessment that helps catch problems early—even if you’re feeling fine. Think of it as a wellness check-in, not just a sick visit. It’s your chance to connect with Dr. Rookwood, review your medical history, update screenings and immunizations, and set personal health goals for the year ahead.

How to Prepare for Your Exam

To make the most of your visit, here’s what Dr. Rookwood recommends bringing:

• A list of your current medications and supplements

• Results from recent medical tests (bloodwork, imaging, etc.)

• Any health-related questions or concerns
  Planning ahead helps ensure we cover everything important to you.

What to Expect During Your Annual Exam

Your exam typically lasts 45–60 minutes and includes:

• Height, weight, blood pressure, and pulse checks

• Listening to your heart and lungs

• Full head-to-toe physical examination

• Skin check for unusual growths or moles

• Abdominal exam to assess organ size and tenderness

• Reflex testing

• Sex-specific screenings (Pap smear, prostate exam, etc.)

• Vaccine updates, lab testing, and medication review as needed

Dr. Rookwood tailors every exam to your health goals and risk factors, ensuring personalized and effective care.
