Start your end of the year health planning NOW! Importance of Annual Physical Exams and it takes 2 mins to schedule it.

When it comes to health, we believe strongly in the quote, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure“. After seeing thousands of patients in Texas for more than 18 years in office and hospital setting, Dr.Gurrapu cannot insist enough about the importance of early detection of any potential health issues. As we start October, it is important to plan the end of the year health benefits. Most likely, you have met your deductible or close to meeting by now.  So,it is better to do your annual ASAP so you can schedule other procedures as needed before the end of the year. DO NOT LET THEOSE INSURANCE BENEFITS expire.

Going to the doctor at least once a year for a comprehensive health check up is a good way to stay on top of your health. Regular monitoring of one’s weight, cholesterol, blood sugar, liver functions and any unexpected lumps is important. This helps anticipate potential issues and take actions immediately. Dr.Gurrapu and her team have the track record to detect even the smallest lumps that could be dangerous in future. Such things are better treated earlier than later!

One should also understand the difference between a regular primary care or family practice physician and Internal medicine when you schedule your physical. Internists, such as Dr.Gurrapu and Dr.Zafar, are trained in each of the internal medicine subspecialties (such as endocrinology, rheumatology, and infectious diseases) and neurology. Internists gain a thorough experience in psychiatry, dermatology, ophthalmology, office gynecology, otorhinolaryngology, non-operative orthopedics, palliative medicine, sleep medicine, geriatrics, and rehabilitation medicine to comprehensively care for adults.
