Preventative medicine

A major focus of our practice is a healthy lifestyle, prevention of illness and early detection with treatment.

Novant Health Rowan Family Physicians works hard to keep you healthy. We strongly encourage yearly physical examinations for both our male and female patients. These yearly exams are important in preventing chronic disease and making early diagnosis of other potential diseases. During your exam we will perform a detailed history and a thorough physical examination. Your physician will then suggest additional testing such as blood analysis, X-ray, or other testing for monitoring of your health. These exams also allow your physician the opportunity to discuss lifestyle modifications they feel are important in preventing disease before it occurs.

Coverage for preventive health services varies among insurance plans and with Medicare. Please help us be aware of any specific requirements of your insurance coverage.
