Physical Examinations

A physical examination is a visit to review aspects of your health and address a specific evaluation need. Alba Family Clinic offers annual, school, sports, and employment physicals, as well as preventive evaluations. Each type of examination has a different purpose. When requesting an appointment, explain whether you want a general checkup or need to meet a school, sports activity, or institutional requirement.

The evaluation may include a discussion of your history, current symptoms, treatments, and usual activities, together with the examination your provider considers appropriate. Its scope depends on your age, health, and the reason for the examination. A school or work form may require specific information beyond a standard consultation. Bringing the relevant documents helps clarify what is needed and whether the clinic can complete that evaluation.

Before visiting, ask about documents, costs, and instructions for the examination you are requesting. If you have a deadline for results or forms, mention it when booking. You can also bring information about medications, allergies, and relevant recent tests. Do not assume you need to fast or stop treatments to prepare: instructions depend on the tests ordered and should be confirmed with your care team.

Beyond meeting a requirement, the visit offers time to ask about prevention and future checkups. Mention changes in energy, activity, or well-being you would like to discuss. Documents or recommendations depend on the evaluation and the specific requirements, so clarify these at the start. Book using the link below or call to explain which examination you need. The team can guide you in Spanish and English before your visit.
