Preventive Health Exams in Pearland, TX

Invest in Your Future with Proactive Wellness Care

At Broadway Family Clinic, we believe the best way to treat a medical crisis is to prevent it from ever happening. A Preventive Health Exam (often called an annual physical or wellness checkup) is the most important appointment you can schedule each year. It is a dedicated time to focus entirely on your long-term health, screen for hidden risks, and optimize your quality of life.

Led by Dr. Kashif Siddiqui and Dr. Sumera Muzaffar, our team moves beyond "symptom management" to provide a comprehensive analysis of your health, tailored to your age, gender, and family history.

What is a Preventive Health Exam?

Unlike a "sick visit"—where the focus is on a specific problem like a cough or a fever—a preventive exam is a holistic review of your body’s systems. Even if you feel perfectly healthy, many conditions like hypertension (high blood pressure), high cholesterol, and early-stage diabetes often show no symptoms until they become serious.

Our Comprehensive Wellness Checkups Include:

  • Comprehensive Vitals Review: Precise monitoring of blood pressure, heart rate, and Body Mass Index (BMI).

  • Advanced Laboratory Screening: Utilizing our In-House Lab to check cholesterol levels, blood sugar (A1C), kidney and liver function, and thyroid health.

  • Cancer Screenings: Age-appropriate guidance and referrals for mammograms, colonoscopies, and prostate screenings.

  • Immunization Updates: Ensuring you are protected against seasonal flu, pneumonia, shingles, and other preventable diseases.

  • Lifestyle & Nutritional Counseling: A personalized discussion regarding diet, exercise, stress management, and mental well-being.

  • Chronic Disease Prevention: We specialize in identifying the "pre-stages" of chronic illness, allowing for lifestyle interventions that can reverse health risks before they require lifelong medication.

What to Expect During Your Visit

  1. Preparation: We recommend fasting for 8–12 hours prior to your exam if you plan to have blood work done during the visit.

  2. History Review: We will discuss your family medical history and any changes in your health over the past year.

  3. Physical Assessment: A head-to-toe examination to check your heart, lungs, reflexes, and skin.

  4. Goal Setting: We conclude every preventive exam with a "Health Roadmap"—a clear plan for your nutrition, activity, and any necessary follow-up care for the coming year.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is a preventive exam covered by my insurance? A: Most major insurance plans, including those under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), cover one preventive wellness exam per year at 100% with no co-pay or deductible. We recommend verifying with your provider, but for most, this is a free benefit.

Q: I feel fine. Do I really need a physical every year? A: Yes! Early detection is the key to longevity. Many life-threatening conditions are "silent" in their early stages. Regular checkups allow us to establish a "baseline" for your health, making it easier to spot subtle changes in the future.

Q: Can I discuss a new medical problem during my preventive exam? A: While the primary focus is prevention, you can certainly mention new concerns. However, insurance companies often require "problem-focused" issues to be billed separately from a "wellness" visit.
