Do you only visit the doctor when you’re sick? Many people skip their yearly checkup if they feel fine.
At Select Family Practice and Urgent Care in Raleigh, North Carolina, Dr. Russell Harrell and our team want to change how you view this visit.
We believe a routine wellness exam isn’t about running useless tests. Instead, it’s your chance to receive personalized, preventive care. We focus on your lifestyle, family history, and health goals. Here are five reasons why scheduling this visit is vital for your long-term health.
Some serious health issues don’t have early warning signs. High blood pressure is a prime example. Regular office-based blood pressure screening is recommended for all adults.
This simple check is highly effective at catching cardiovascular risks early. At our Raleigh office, these vital screenings are quick and easy. We can help you manage hypertension before it leads to serious heart issues.
Staying healthy isn’t just about your physical body. Your mental well-being matters just as much for your overall quality of life. We conduct routine anxiety screenings for asymptomatic adults.
We use a simple, standardized questionnaire during your visit to check on your stress levels. This helps us identify hidden anxiety early so we can support you and connect you with resources to help you feel your best.
You don’t need every medical test every year. Instead, you need the right tests at the right times. For example, it’s recommended that women get cervical cancer screenings every 3-5 years.
We track these intervals for you so you don’t have to worry. Our team tailors women's health and men's health screenings to your needs.
More testing isn’t always better for your health. Indiscriminate testing can lead to overdiagnosis and stressful, unnecessary follow-up procedures.
We focus only on the evidence-based screenings you need. That keeps your care safe, effective, and highly personalized.
A generic, head-to-toe physical doesn’t automatically help you live longer, mainly because primary care providers already identify risks during targeted visits.
We use your wellness exam to focus on your personal risk factors. That lets us build a highly customized prevention plan. We can also discuss options, such as weight loss management, to support your goals.
