A physical exam includes a full body checkup, discussion of symptoms, and often lab work or testing if needed. A Medicare Wellness Visit is a preventive screening visit focused on creating a long-term care plan, without a hands-on physical component unless medically necessary.

Bring:

Customized to Your Care Plan Your provider will recommend only the labs that are necessary for your specific health goals, symptoms, or condition—nothing extra, nothing overlooked. Whether it’s for a routine physical, chronic condition, hormone therapy, or a pre-op clearance, our lab services are tailored just for you.

We also help interpret your results in plain language and can create a follow-up plan based on what your body needs.

Yes. We perform resting EKGs to assess heart rhythm, screen before surgery, or evaluate symptoms like chest pain or palpitations.

Your visit can include a breast exam, pelvic exam, Pap smear, hormone testing, and discussion of birth control, menopause symptoms, or menstrual issues. It’s a personalized check-in on your reproductive and hormonal health.

In general, most women between the ages of 21 and 65 should get a Pap smear every 3 years if their previous results have been normal. A Pap smear checks for abnormal cervical cells that could lead to cervical cancer.

If your provider combines your Pap smear with an HPV test (which checks for the virus that causes most cervical cancers), you may only need screening every 5 years, as long as both tests are normal.

However, your screening schedule may be different based on:

• Your age
• Your health history
• Your past Pap or HPV results
• Whether you’ve had a hysterectomy or are immunocompromised

Your provider at Coast and Aloe will review your history and create a personalized screening plan to keep you protected while avoiding unnecessary testing.

Reminder: Even if you don’t need a Pap smear every year, it’s still important to schedule annual wellness visits to stay on top of breast health, hormones, birth control, and overall well-being.

Yes. We can add on lab testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, syphilis, or HPV, based on your age, risk factors, and preferences.

A pre-operative (pre-op) clearance is a medical evaluation you’ll need before undergoing surgery or certain medical procedures. It ensures that your body is healthy enough to handle the procedure and anesthesia safely.
At Coast and Aloe, a pre-op visit typically includes:

• Medical history review – We go over your past surgeries, medications, allergies, and any chronic conditions.
• Physical exam – A full-body check to assess your current health status and look for any red flags.
  Required labs – Bloodwork like CBC (blood count), CMP (electrolytes), coagulation (clotting), and more—based on your surgeon’s request.
• EKG (Electrocardiogram) – If needed, this simple, non-invasive test checks your heart’s rhythm and function before anesthesia.
• Paperwork for your surgeon or specialist – We complete all necessary forms and send your results directly to your surgical team.
  Pre-op clearance is not just about checking boxes—it’s about protecting your safety and giving your surgical team the clearest view of your health going into the procedure.
  

TIP: Schedule your pre-op appointment at least 7–10 days before surgery, in case additional labs or follow-up is needed.

Please bring your surgeon’s paperwork, a list of medications, and any recent labs if available.
