At mediDental care, your health is a team effort. We’re here to keep you feeling your best with no-pressure, judgment-free routine check-ups that fit your busy NYC life. Scheduling a doctor's visit for a routine check-up is an important step in maintaining your health. Whether it’s your first visit or you’re a regular, we make it simple to stay on top of your health.
As New York City’s first premier dental and medical hybrid office, we make it easy to care for your whole body under one roof. Our experienced medical team is here to listen, guide, and help you feel your best year-round. Your annual checkup, annual exam, or yearly physical is designed to assess your general health and should happen yearly for most adults. Plus, we’re right in the heart of Astoria—just a short walk or subway ride away.
Your check-up is more than a quick once-over—it’s a proactive way to stay in control of your health. Routine health checks and physical examinations are designed to detect early signs and early stages of health conditions, allowing for timely intervention and better outcomes. We use your visit as an opportunity to check in, look ahead, and make small adjustments that make a big difference.
Screenings may be recommended based on your risk for cardiovascular disease and other risk factors.
We make your care personal and accessible—not one-size-fits-all. Our goal is to guide you with simple, realistic advice so you feel empowered and informed after every visit.
Getting ready for your annual physical exam is one of the best ways to make your visit with your primary care provider as helpful as possible. Before your appointment, take a few minutes to gather your medical history, including any recent changes in your health or family medical history. Make a list of all medications, vitamins, and supplements you’re currently taking, and jot down any questions or health concerns you want to discuss—whether it’s about managing high blood pressure, tracking your blood sugar, or setting new health goals.
It’s also helpful to keep a record of your vital signs, such as blood pressure readings, especially if you monitor them at home. Think about your overall health and any preventive care steps you’d like to take, like updating vaccines or discussing screening tests. By coming prepared, you’ll make the most of your physical exam and work together with your provider to spot health risks early and keep your health on track.
A routine check-up might not seem like a big deal, but it’s one of the best habits you can build for long-term health. An annual checkup is a proactive way to protect your general health. Annual exams and physical exams are designed to identify early signs of health conditions and catch diseases in their early stages, allowing for more effective treatment and prevention. At mediDental care, we help you catch things early, manage existing conditions, and feel more in control of your wellness.
Here’s why our patients make routine visits part of their care plan:
We don’t just focus on numbers—we focus on you.
mediDental care isn’t your average “doctor office near me.” We’re a warm, welcoming space that mixes medical know-how with a patient-first mindset. Your care team may include nurse practitioners and medical assistants who help make your doctor's visit smooth and efficient. And because we’re also a dental office, you can knock out two important visits in one stop.
Our team takes the time to answer your questions and explain things in plain language. No rushed visits. No waiting around forever. Just modern, compassionate care.
Staying organized with your health records is a simple way to stay on top of your well-being and make every doctor’s visit more productive. While your primary care provider keeps a detailed medical history, it’s smart to keep your own up-to-date list of medications, allergies, and any ongoing health concerns. You can use a notebook, an app, or even a simple spreadsheet to track important details like your blood pressure, body mass index, and results from screening tests such as breast cancer screening or cervical cancer checks.
Having this information handy helps you and your healthcare providers make informed decisions about preventive care, manage chronic diseases like high cholesterol, and address any new health problems quickly. Keeping your records organized also makes it easier to spot trends, follow up on cancer screening, and ensure you’re always one step ahead when it comes to your health.
If it’s been a while since you’ve seen a doctor, now’s the time. Your routine check-up, annual exam, or yearly physical should happen yearly for most adults. These visits are the perfect way to catch up and set your health goals in motion.
Here are a few signs it might be time to book:
Whether you’re 25 or 75, routine care is key. If you’re unsure how often you need a yearly physical or annual exam, talk to your doctor.
Your mental health is just as important as your physical health, and we’re here to support you in both. During your annual physical exam, your primary care provider will check in on your mood, stress levels, and overall mental wellness. This is a safe space to talk about anything on your mind—whether it’s anxiety, depression, or just feeling overwhelmed.
If you have concerns, your provider may suggest screening tests or connect you with a specialist for extra support. Prioritizing your mental health can help you feel better day-to-day and also lowers your risk for chronic diseases like heart disease. Remember, taking care of your mind is a key part of taking care of your overall health.
Your care doesn’t end when your annual physical exam is over. After your visit, your primary care provider will review your results, discuss any screening tests or new medications, and help you plan your next steps. If you need a follow-up appointment or a referral to a specialist, we’ll make sure you’re set up for success.
Staying on top of routine visits—like your yearly checkup or other preventive care appointments—helps catch health problems early and keeps you feeling your best. Whether it’s monitoring for colon cancer, managing chronic diseases, or just checking in on your health concerns, we’re here to support you every step of the way. Good health is a journey, and we’re with you for the long haul.
We believe everyone in Astoria deserves access to quality, affordable care. That’s why we accept most insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, and offer options for those without insurance. Preventive care, like managing high blood pressure or getting screened for breast cancer, shouldn’t be out of reach for anyone.
For added convenience, we also offer telehealth visits—so you can connect with our healthcare providers from home if needed. Our team, including nurse practitioners and primary care physicians, is dedicated to helping you address health issues like sexually transmitted infections, manage health risks, and build healthy habits for good health. No matter your situation, we’re committed to making sure you get the care you need to stay healthy and thrive.
Your health deserves attention—and we’re here to make it easy. Whether you’re coming in for the first time or returning for your yearly visit, mediDental care is ready to welcome you.
