At AllCare Georgia, we make it easy to stay on top of your health with quick, thorough physical exams. Whether you’re in Atlanta, Alpharetta, Smyrna, or anywhere nearby, our experienced providers offer comprehensive check-ups tailored to your needs.
An annual physical exam is a routine check-up with your healthcare provider to make sure your body is working the way it should. Getting a yearly physical helps catch small issues before they turn into bigger problems. These visits give our providers a full picture of your overall health so we can spot early warning signs, manage chronic conditions, and keep you feeling your best year-round.
At AllCare Georgia, your physical exam includes a review of your medical history, vital signs, lifestyle habits, and routine tests. Whether it’s your first check-up in a while or just time for an annual update, we’ll make the process smooth, simple, and stress-free.
Blood tests play a crucial role in assessing your overall health. These tests analyze various components of your blood, such as cholesterol levels, blood sugar levels, and complete blood count (CBC). By evaluating these markers, healthcare professionals can identify potential risk factors, monitor existing conditions, and detect early signs of illnesses.
This evaluation allows healthcare providers to gain insights into your past and current medical conditions, surgeries, medications, allergies, and family medical history. Understanding your health background enables them to tailor preventive measures and screenings specific to your needs, ensuring a personalized approach to your healthcare.
Measuring your blood pressure is a routine test performed during annual physical exams. High blood pressure can be an indicator of underlying health issues, including cardiovascular problems. Regular monitoring helps in identifying hypertension early on.
During annual physical exams, basic vision and hearing screenings are commonly conducted. These screenings evaluate your visual clarity and identify any potential hearing difficulties. By detecting vision or hearing impairments at an early stage, prompt interventions and appropriate management can be initiated, ensuring optimal sensory health.
During the annual check-up, a comprehensive physical examination takes place. This evaluation entails assessing vital signs like heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature. Additionally, your healthcare provider will carefully examine your body systems, including the heart, lungs, abdomen, and skin, to identify any irregularities or indications of potential health concerns that requite urgent care.
Everyone can benefit from an annual physical, no matter your age, gender, or current health. These check-ups help detect early signs of illness, manage ongoing conditions, and keep your health on track year after year. Depending on your age and risk factors, your provider may recommend additional screenings during your visit. Here are some common examples:
If you’re not sure which screenings apply to you, our providers at AllCare Georgia can help you decide based on your personal and family health history.

Yes, absolutely. Annual physical exams are designed to help you stay healthy, not just to diagnose illness. Many serious health conditions, like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or type 2 diabetes, develop with no symptoms in the early stages.
At AllCare Georgia, our primary care providers use annual physicals to:
Even if you feel fine, a yearly check-up helps you build a long-term relationship with your provider and stay ahead of potential problems.
Yes—most health insurance plans in Georgia cover one annual physical exam per year as part of your preventive care benefits. This usually includes the physical exam itself, a review of your health history, and basic screenings or tests ordered by your provider.
At AllCare Georgia, we work with most major insurance plans and will verify your coverage when you arrive. If you don’t have insurance, we offer affordable self-pay options to make it easy to stay on top of your health.
Most adults should schedule a physical exam once every year. This allows your provider to track changes in your health, update medications, and screen for common conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
If you have a chronic condition (such as hypertension, asthma, or diabetes) or a family history of certain illnesses, your provider may recommend more frequent visits. Our team at AllCare Georgia will help you set a personalized schedule that fits your needs.
They’re closely related, but not identical. A wellness visit is typically focused on preventive care: reviewing your health history, updating vaccinations, and discussing lifestyle changes. A physical exam includes all of that, plus a hands-on check-up, vital signs assessment, and often routine lab work.
At AllCare Georgia, we combine both services into one convenient visit, so whether you’re in Atlanta, Alpharetta, or Smyrna, you can get your full annual check-up, screenings, and health advice all in one place.
