What is a "wellness session"?
Our Wellness Sessions are available to patients who join our concierge program. These sessions go beyond routine checkups, offering personalized health optimization plans, advanced screenings, and one-on-one guidance to help you look and feel your best.
What does concierge medicine mean?
Concierge medicine gives you direct access to your doctor for a monthly fee rather than paying per visit. Members enjoy priority scheduling, longer appointments, unlimited messaging, and 24/7 access for urgent questions.
What is your approach to healthcare?
Our mission is to combine traditional family medicine values with modern wellness principles. We believe in building long-term relationships, spending time with each patient, and empowering you to stay proactive about your health.
How often should I get a physical exam?
Most adults should have a yearly physical to track changes in blood pressure, weight, cholesterol, and other vital health markers. At MD Care Wellness, we recommend annual exams even if you feel healthy - prevention is the key to long-term wellness.
What's the best way to prevent high blood pressure?
A balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management are essential. We help patients create personalized plans that include nutrition guidance and regular monitoring through our wellness sessions.
What are some natural ways to manage stress?
Regular physical activity, breathing exercises, mindfulness, and consistent sleep all help reduce stress. During wellness visits, we discuss simple lifestyle habits that support both mental and physical balance.
What's the best diet for heart health?
A diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins supports cardiovascular health. We help patients create sustainable, heart-healthy eating plans - not quick fixes.
