What are work-related testing and physicals?

A specific physical you may need, unrelated to work, could be for school or to play a sport. 

Cassie offers various types of physicals based on your individualized needs. She takes as much time as you need to address questions or concerns and fills out required physical exam forms.

What should I bring to either work-related testing or a physical?

When you arrive at Paradise Family Practice for your physical, it’s helpful to bring your work, school, or sports physical exam form. Have contacts, glasses, or hearing aids available if you use them. Bring a list of your current medications, past vaccinations, a photo ID, and a form of payment or your insurance card.

What happens during work-related testing and physicals?

What to expect during work-related testing and physicals at Paradise Family Practice depends on the type of physical exam you require. It’s common to complete the following:

Medical history review

Cassie discusses your medical history to evaluate your overall health and determine which health screenings or treatments you may need. She asks about your current medications, past and current diagnoses, lifestyle, symptoms, and more. 

Health screenings

Based on your age, gender, and risk factors, you might need screening for high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease, asthma, allergies, other chronic conditions, illnesses, or injuries requiring treatment. 

Medical examination

During a health exam, Cassie screens for visible signs of any medical concerns. She evaluates your eyes, throat, breathing, heartbeat, reflexes, neck, abdomen, limbs, or other areas of your body.

Testing

Paradise Family Practice offers drug testing, vision screening, and hearing screening if you require it for your employer, school, or sports team.

Treatment

If you need treatment for a medical condition, Cassie offers recommendations. She may suggest further diagnostic testing, prescription medications, medically supervised weight loss, injury care, or treatment from another specialist. After you pass your work-related testing or sports/school physical, Cassie fills out any necessary physical exam forms.

How often should I schedule work-related testing or a sports or school physical?

Schedule a physical yearly or as instructed by your employer, school, or sports team. See Cassie anytime you or your child develops new symptoms, becomes ill, needs chronic disease management, or you have questions or concerns.
