Dr. Raza’s approach to an Executive Physical Exam includes several steps to ensure a complete and thorough evaluation:

1. Personalized Health Discussion: You’ll begin with an in-depth conversation about your current health, concerns, symptoms, and lifestyle habits. Dr. Raza will also review your personal and family medical history to determine which screenings and tests are appropriate for you.

    

2. Comprehensive Physical Examination: Dr. Raza will record vital signs such as blood pressure, weight, and respiration, followed by a full physical exam to assess your muscle strength, reflexes, heart, and lungs.

    

3. Advanced Testing: The exam includes a series of tests designed to assess your overall health, such as:

    

   • EKG (Electrocardiogram): This checks for heart-related issues by monitoring the electrical activity of your heart.

      

   • Thyroid Function Tests (TFT): These tests evaluate thyroid hormone levels, which help regulate metabolism and energy.

      

   • Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI): This test assesses blood flow in your arteries and checks for peripheral artery disease.

      

   • Screening Ultrasound: A scan to detect plaque buildup in your arteries, which could increase your risk of stroke.

      

   • Urine Test: Analyzes kidney health by checking for protein, sugar, or other indicators.

      

   • Lung Function Test: Includes spirometry and other tests to assess how well your lungs are functioning.

      

Blood Work: Routine blood tests are essential for tracking key health indicators such as cholesterol, blood sugar, and vitamin levels. A Complete Blood Count (CBC) helps identify issues such as anemia or infection, while other tests may detect hidden deficiencies or signs of inflammation.
