Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is a method of taking regular blood pressure readings, usually over a 24-hour period, as patients conduct their normal activities. A special, automatic blood pressure monitor is used, and patients are asked to keep a diary or log of their activities during the day.

Anticoagulation and Coumadin Management

Coumadin is an anticoagulation (blood thinning) medicine. It is used to prevent the formation of blood clots or to treat blood clots.

Audiometry

A hearing test usually performed in a soundproof room; the person wears earphones and tones are presented to each ear, one at a time.

Blood Tests

Blood tests can reveal numerous diseases and conditions.

Bone Density Testing (DEXA Scan)

A bone density test, or DEXA Scan,  is a noninvasive, evaluation procedure that uses x-rays to measure bone mass or the weight of the skeleton. The amount of bone in the skeleton determines how strong it is. Bone densitometry is often used to measure bone mass in the spine, hips and arms, as these are the areas most likely to fracture when bone mass is low.

Cholesterol Testing

Cholesterol screening is performed by a blood test. Persons with high cholesterol measurements from a blood sample tend to have a higher risk for coronary heart disease than those with cholesterol in the normal range. Studies have demonstrated that persons with high cholesterol can reduce their risk for heart disease by lowering their cholesterol. It is important to understand, however, that people can still have heart disease even with cholesterol levels in the normal range.

Colposcopy

An examination of the vagina and cervix using a magnifying instrument called a colposcope or an endoscope, primarily to identify areas of cervical dysplasia in women with abnormal Pap smears.

Contraceptive Management

Provides information regarding the various forms of contraception and can assist in determining which method is best for you. 

Cryoablation (Cryosurgery)

Also called cryotherapy, cryosurgery or targeted cryoablation therapy, this is a minimally invasive treatment that uses extreme cold to freeze and destroy diseased tissue, including cancer cells. Liquid nitrogen or argon gas is applied to diseased cells located outside or inside the body. Physicians use image-guidance techniques such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) to help guide these freezing substances to treatment sites located inside the body.

Department of Transportation (DOT) Exams/Physicals

Medical examinations for individuals who drive commercial motor vehicles.

Dermatological Care

Treatment for conditions affecting the skin.

Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG)

An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is one of the simplest and fastest procedures used to evaluate the heart. Electrodes (small, plastic patches) are placed at certain locations on the chest, arms and legs. When the electrodes are connected to an ECG machine by lead wires, the electrical activity of the heart is measured, interpreted and printed out for the physician's information and further interpretation.

Emergency After-Hours Clinic for Established Patients

After-hours appointments for established patients.

Emergency Weekend Clinic for Established Patients

Weekend appointments for established patients.

Flu Shots

Flu shots are available to help protect you from the influenza virus.

Geriatric Care

Addresses the complex needs of older people, focusing on health promotion and the prevention and treatment of disease and disability in the elderly.

Gynecological Care and Exams

The medical specialty dealing with health of the female reproductive system.

Hearing Screening

Tests to determine if any hearing loss has occurred.

Holter Monitoring

The Holter monitor is a portable device for continuously monitoring the electrical activity of the heart for 24 hours or more. Its extended recording period is sometimes useful for observing occasional cardiac arrhythmias that would be difficult to identify in a shorter period of time.

Immunizations

Vaccines to prevent diseases.

Injection Therapy

Injection therapy involves using a needle and syringe to relieve pain by injecting medication into a patient's joints, soft tissues or other areas. It typically is used only when less invasive forms of treatment fail to relieve symptoms.

IUD Insertions

An Intrauterine Device (IUD) is a method of birth control in which a small device is inserted into the uterus by a physician. It remains in place the entire time pregnancy is not desired. IUDs last 1-10 years, depending on the type, and then must be removed by a physician.

Joint Injections (Intra-Articular Injection)

A joint injection is a procedure used in the treatment of inflammatory joint conditions.

Laboratory Services

Minor Surgical Procedures

Minor surgical procedures are those that can be done in the physician's office with local anesthesia.

Mobile Mammography

The mobile mammography unit reaches women unable to come to traditional on-site mammography centers. With a mobile mammography unit, the center is able to take breast health care to underserved populations.

Mobile MRI

An MRI contained within a large truck, which can be moved from location to location. An MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is a type of scan that, instead of X-rays, uses a large, powerful magnet to create an image of part of the body.

Pap Test

A Pap test (also called Pap smear) involves microscopic examination of cells collected from the cervix, used to detect changes that may be cancer or may lead to cancer, and to show noncancerous conditions, such as infection or inflammation.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy involves the evaluation and treatment of problems associated with mobility, balance, coordination and musculoskeletal pain.

Preventive Care

Medical and/or dental services aimed at early detection and intervention.

Pulmonary Function Test

A test designed to measure how well the lungs are working. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) gauge how the lungs are carrying out their tasks -- of expanding and contracting (when a person inhales and exhales) and of exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide efficiently between the air (or other gases) within the lungs and the blood.

School Physicals

Physicals for students, as required by some schools or athletic programs.

Spirometry

Spirometry is the most common of the Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs), measuring lung function, specifically the measurement of the amount (volume) and/or speed (flow) of air that can be inhaled and exhaled. Spirometry is an important tool  in assessing conditions such as asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, and COPD.

Sports Physicals

A physical exam required by some schools for students to play sports.

Throat Cultures

A throat culture is a test to detect and identify a bacterial, fungal, or viral infection in the throat.

Tympanography

Tympanometry is an examination used to test the condition of the middle ear and mobility of the eardrum (tympanic membrane) and the conduction bones by creating variations of air pressure in the ear canal.

Urinalysis

A group of physical and chemical tests done on a sample of urine to check for various disorders, including those of the kidneys and urinary tract.

Vision Screening

An eye examination which can determine vision function as well as screen for potential problems or diseases.

X-ray

An x-ray is a diagnostic test which uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones and organs onto film.
