Female Wellness Exam & Laboratory Testing

At Well & Being for Women we encourage women to be aware of their physical and mental health. We believe health is not just the absence of disease, but a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. Wellness examination, similar to an annual wellness visit or physical exam, is a great place to keep your health on track. The appointment includes a clinical interview, physical exam, health risk assessment and discussions about your overall health and lifestyle. During this examination you and our provider can identify health concerns early and take action to prevent them and to avoid more serious outcomes.

During this wellness screening we offer laboratory testing for screening to assist with diagnosis for early detection to potential health issues or diseases before symptoms appear, with the goal of better treatment outcomes. In addition to laboratory testing, this visit is also an opportunity to help women get referrals to specialists. This is also a great time to ask our nurse practitioner questions and suggestions about aesthetic procedures and treatments.

Wellness examinations are required for clients seeking prescription weight loss medications. Undergoing a thorough medical history and testing can be crucial to the success of a women's weight loss. This evaluation assesses health conditions, potential medication interactions, individual suitability for the treatment and provides insights into factors that could impact the medication's effectiveness and safety. A women's overall health is our top priority.

We offer clients the convenience of having their blood drawn/other testing at our office location.
