Annual Exams Without the Rush
Complete Physicals for adults who need more than a 10-minute checkbox visit
For many adults across South Orange County, the annual physical is the only medical touchpoint they schedule all year, which makes it critical that the exam is thorough and the findings are fully explained. Dr. Poormehr conducts every complete physical himself from start to finish, including comprehensive blood work, urine analysis, electrocardiogram tracing when indicated, inflammation markers, cholesterol breakdown, and diabetic screening. Each finding is discussed in detail during the visit, not summarized in a portal message days later. Coastal Concierge Primary Care structures these exams to last as long as necessary, allowing time to address every question and every concern without the time pressure imposed by insurance billing schedules.
Early detection and addressing the issues will be the focus of these annual comprehensive physical exams and blood work to ensure treatment to restore health and wellness. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Schedule your complete physical to establish a current health baseline and discuss any changes since your last exam.
What a Physician-Led Physical Covers
The exam begins with a full review of your medical history, current symptoms, lifestyle factors, and any concerns you have noticed since your last visit. Dr. Poormehr then conducts a head-to-toe physical assessment, checking cardiovascular function, lung capacity, reflexes, joint mobility, skin changes, and any areas of discomfort or limitation. Lab work is ordered based on your age, risk factors, and the interval since your last screening, and an EKG and chest x-ray is performed when cardiac assessment is warranted.
You will leave the visit with a clear understanding of where your health stands and what the lab results mean once they return. Dr. Poormehr reviews every result personally and calls you directly to discuss findings, explain any borderline markers, and recommend next steps if intervention is needed. This conversation is not delegated to a nurse or summarized in a generic portal note.
For concierge medicine members, the complete physical is included in the annual membership fee and scheduled at a time that fits your calendar without long waits for availability.
Adults scheduling their first complete physical with Coastal Concierge Primary Care often want to know what the process involves and how it differs from standard checkups. These answers clarify what to expect.
How long does a complete physical take?
The exam itself typically lasts 45 to 60 minutes, which allows time for a thorough assessment and a detailed conversation about your health concerns without feeling rushed.
What blood work is included in the physical?
The panel includes cholesterol breakdown, hemoglobin A1C for diabetic screening, kidney and liver function, thyroid levels, vitamin levels, and inflammatory markers, with additional tests added based on your age, symptoms, and medical history.
When is an EKG performed during the exam?
Dr. Poormehr orders an electrocardiogram tracing when you report chest discomfort, palpitations, unexplained fatigue, or shortness of breath, and routinely for adults over 50 or those with family history of heart disease.
How quickly will I receive my lab results?
Most lab work returns within three to five business days, and Dr. Poormehr personally reviews every result and contacts you directly to discuss findings rather than sending a generic all-clear message.
What happens if the physical identifies a health concern?
Dr. Poormehr explains the finding in detail, outlines what it means for your health, and discusses next steps, which may include follow-up testing, lifestyle modifications, medication, or referral to a specialist depending on the severity and nature of the concern.
