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 15 years in office and hospital setting, Dr.Gurrapu cannot insist enough about the importance of early detection of any potential health issues.
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 to anticipate potential issues and take actions immediately. Dr.Gurrapu has 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, 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.
