Wellness Medicine

Wellness Medicine is a medical specialty devoted to comprehensive health care for people of all ages.  It is a form of primary care that provides continuing, comprehensive health care for for the individual and family across all ages, sexes, diseases and parts of the body.  It is based on knowledge of the patient in the context of the family and the community, emphasizing disease prevention and health promotion.  At Choice Wellness we are trained to prevent, diagnose, and treat a full range of issues affecting families and patients at all stages of life. 

We also offer well woman exams.  A periodic well woman exam for all ages 18 and up is not just about good medical care, but it also gives you the opportunity to learn more about beneficial health habits. Healthy living and early detection of disease increases not only your length of life but, more importantly, your quality of life.  The well women exam is performed in 3 parts: the health history, physical exam inclucing a breast exam, pelvic exam, and pap smear, as well as an assessment for other health problems.
