A physical examination is a routine test that gives an overall look on your health. The annual physical exams consist of different tests that can be performed during your physical examination. Depending on your age or medical or family history.
These exams can be a good time to ask your questions about you what you have been feeling and talk about any changes or problems that you have noticed.

Beyond routine assessments, our thorough evaluations encompass tailored screenings and discussions to address individual health concerns.

This exam includes several steps so our medical professional can see how your body is performing.
First, we will need to update on new developments and changes in your health history. This may include questions about your job and relationships, medications, allergies, supplements, or any recent surgeries.
This includes taking a blood pressure reading and checking your heart rate and respiratory rate. Your blood pressure should be checked at least once every year to once every three years, depending on your history.
Our medical team will review your appearance for signs of any potential conditions. They’ll check the parts of your body that could visually indicate any existing health issues.
Also, we will use tools to look in your eyes, ears, nose, and throat; listen to the heart and lungs and also “palpating,” parts of your body to feel any abnormalities, check skin, reflexes and more parts of the body if necessary.
To complete the physical, we may draw blood for several laboratory tests. This helps detect irregularities in your body that might indicate a larger problem.
Often yes. Future Care usually has same-day and next-day appointments for physical exams, and walk-ins are welcome at all five locations. You can book online through Zocdoc, call, or stop in.
A Future Care physical includes an updated health history, vital-sign checks such as blood pressure, heart rate and temperature, a head-to-toe physical exam, and, when needed, on-site lab tests such as blood work or urinalysis.
We provide annual and general physicals as well as physicals for work, school, sports, and pre-operative clearance. If you need a specific form completed for an employer, school, or team, bring it with you and we will fill it out.
We recommend an annual physical for most adults. If you are healthy and in your 20s or 30s, every one to two years may be enough, but a yearly visit helps catch problems early and keeps your health records current.
No special preparation is needed unless your doctor orders fasting blood work. It helps to bring a list of your current medications, any allergies, symptoms you have noticed, recent lab results, and device cards if you have a pacemaker or similar device.
Future Care accepts most major insurance plans, and many plans cover an annual preventive physical at no cost to you. Your exact cost depends on your coverage and any added tests, so contact the office to confirm your plan before your visit.
Future Care has five locations, in Forest Hills (Queens), the Bronx, Brooklyn, Baldwin on Long Island, and Hackensack, New Jersey.
