Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to fast for screenings?

Only certain tests require fasting (8-12 hours), such as cholesterol panels and fasting glucose tests. Most basic screenings like blood pressure can be done anytime. We'll inform you of any preparation needed when you inquire.

How accurate are the screening results?

Our professional-grade equipment is regularly calibrated and maintained to ensure accuracy. While our screenings are highly reliable for monitoring and early detection, they are not a substitute for comprehensive medical examination by your doctor.

What happens if my results are abnormal?

We'll explain your results and provide guidance on next steps. For concerning values, we recommend follow-up with your healthcare provider and can help facilitate referrals if needed. We also provide educational materials and lifestyle recommendations.

Can I get screenings if I'm taking medications?

Yes, you should continue taking your medications as prescribed unless specifically instructed otherwise by your doctor. Some medications may affect certain test results, which we'll take into account when interpreting your results.

How often should I get health screenings?

This depends on your age, health status, and risk factors. Generally, adults should have blood pressure checked annually, cholesterol every 5 years (or more frequently if elevated), and diabetes screening every 3 years after age 45. We can provide personalized recommendations.
