Why are Annual Physical Important?
An annual checkup is an appointment where your doctor checks your general health. Katy Family Medicine and Urgent Care providers offer preventive screenings and make health recommendations to lower your risk of chronic diseases.
Annual exams can help increase the chances that your provider catches a disease in the early stages, when it’s easier to treat.
