Call 415-619-3021What it is
Understanding preventive medicine.
Preventive medicine looks for health risks before they become more serious. It combines screening, family and personal history, metabolic health, lifestyle, and appropriate testing to create practical steps for protecting future health.
How it works
What this service actually does.
Instead of waiting for a disease to cause obvious symptoms, preventive care looks for early warning signs. This may include blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, weight, family history, cancer-screening needs, bone health, and lifestyle risks.
Results are organized into priorities: what is healthy now, what needs watching, and what should be treated. The patient leaves with a schedule for screening and specific actions rather than a collection of unexplained test numbers.
What care may include
Specific evaluation and treatment options.
Cardiovascular, metabolic, weight, nutrition, and lifestyle risk reduction
Referral, medication, or follow-up testing when a significant concern is found
How care works
Evaluation first. Then a personal plan.
Review personal history, family history, current symptoms, and lifestyle
Complete appropriate physical, laboratory, and diagnostic screening
Turn results into clear priorities for nutrition, exercise, risk reduction, treatment, and follow-up
Possible improvements
What treatment may help with.
Results depend on the underlying cause, your health, and the treatment selected. When care is appropriate, the goals may include:
- Earlier identification of risks such as high blood pressure, cholesterol, or blood sugar
- A clearer plan for weight, cardiovascular, and metabolic health
- Better coordination of screenings and follow-up over time
Screening recommendations depend on age, health history, family history, and individual risk.
