At your preventative visit, your primary care doctor will likely ask you about your family history, your current health, surgeries, chronic conditions, and past illnesses to assess your health risk. They will also likely perform a physical exam, such as listening to your heart and lungs with a stethoscope, checking your ears, throat, eyes, skin, abdomen, and checking your vital signs to make sure your overall health is in tip-top shape. In addition, your doctor may conduct screenings if further information is required. These screenings are specific to your gender and age, such as: • Children ages 0-5 - May include developmental screening, height/weight assessment, and immunizations • Children ages 6-12 - May include immunizations, height/weight, and developmental assessment • Women – Typically include Pap test and breast exam • Adults - May include colon cancer screening and cholesterol test
