What to Expect at Your Annual Physical Exam
- posted: Mar. 06, 2026
Maintaining your health is a lifelong commitment that involves more than just reacting to illness when it arises. An annual physical exam serves as a proactive benchmark for your well-being, allowing for early detection of potential health issues and a clear assessment of your current physical state. At RW Family Practice And Preventive Care in Orlando, FL, Wilnard Dastine, DNP, provides a thorough and compassionate environment where patients can take charge of their health through regular clinical evaluations.
Comprehensive Medical History and Consultation
Every physical exam begins with a detailed conversation about your health journey since your last visit. Wilnard Dastine, DNP, reviews your personal and family medical history, current medications, and any lifestyle changes that may impact your well-being. This is an ideal time to discuss persistent symptoms, sleep patterns, or mental health concerns. By understanding the context of your daily life, we can provide guidance that aligns with your specific health goals and risk factors.
Vital Signs and Physical Assessment
The clinical portion of the physical exam at our Orlando, FL, office involves gathering data about your body’s essential functions. We record your blood pressure, heart rate, respiration rate, and temperature to establish a baseline of your cardiovascular and respiratory health. Wilnard Dastine, DNP, performs a head-to-toe examination, which includes listening to your heart and lungs, checking your reflexes, and examining your skin for any unusual changes. This physical assessment helps identify subtle signs of conditions, such as hypertension or heart murmurs, that might not present obvious symptoms.
Preventative Screenings and Diagnostic Tests
Depending on your age, gender, and medical history, your physical exam may include various preventative screenings. These can range from blood work to check cholesterol and glucose levels to age-appropriate screenings for cancer or bone density. For women, this may include a clinical breast exam or a discussion about cervical health. We’ll ensure that you are up to date on recommended immunizations and provide documentation you need for work, school, or sports participation.
Establishing a Roadmap for Wellness
The conclusion of your visit at our Orlando, FL, office involves a review of our findings and the creation of a plan for the coming year. If the exam uncovers a need for further investigation, we coordinate necessary referrals or follow-up testing. Wilnard Dastine, DNP, believes in empowering patients through education, offering advice on nutrition, exercise, and stress management to help prevent chronic diseases before they start. An annual physical exam at RW Family Practice And Preventive Care is more than a checkup; it is an investment in your long-term vitality. To schedule your next physical exam, call 407-420-7374.
