What should I expect during family primary care appointments?

At family primary care appointments at Hale Family Practice, your provider weighs you, assesses your body mass index (BMI), and checks your pulse, blood pressure, and discusses your family medical history, lifestyle habits, medications, symptoms, and previous diagnoses. In children, they evaluate growth and development.

Your primary care specialist examines you from head to toe, looking for signs of potential medical concerns during a physical exam. They evaluate your breathing, heartbeat, limbs, abdomen, and more.
