When Is the Last Time You Got an Executive Physical?

As a busy executive, your time is at a premium. However, your work and financial success shouldn't come at the expense of your health. An executive physical can help you get a comprehensive view of your entire physical wellbeing and alert you to any areas of your health that need some attention. Best of all, it can be done in one visit at one location.

At the offices of Dr. Sasan Massachi in Beverly Hills California, you can get a complete executive physical on your own terms, with flexible scheduling available to accommodate your need for a convenient appointment time and all-in-one servicing without extra trips to the office or outside labs.

Executive physical basics

An executive physical is more than a routine annual physical. Dr. Massachi goes over every aspect of your health, checking for any possible health issue that could compromise your energy or performance. 

By getting this comprehensive executive physical every year, we can build a clear picture of your health and tailor your care for maximum effectiveness and the most positive results. It’s all part of your personalized health care plan, which includes the following:

Basic medical history and exam

Your executive physical starts with the basics. Dr. Massachi asks about your family and medical history as well as your lifestyle and habits. He goes over any past medical incidents or surgeries and checks in with you about allergies or sensitivities.

Expect to talk about any smoking, alcohol, or drug use, and to discuss your diet, exercise, and sleep habits, as well as any supplements or prescriptions you’re on. The doctor will finish this portion of the exam by taking your vitals and then doing a full physical examination.

Specialized tests

An executive physical comes with a full battery of lab work. Dr. Massachi will order the appropriate labs and tests, which can include:

• Kidney, liver, and thyroid function
• Urine, cholesterol, and tumor marker analysis
• Screening for diabetes, vitamin deficiency, and electrolyte abnormalities
• A full STD panel and hormones panel
• Bone and brain scans 
• Body mass index calculation (BMI)
• Lung and abdomen checks

Gender-specific testing

Dr. Massachi will also order specific labs based on your gender to assess your risk for specific issues. These can include:

• Pelvic and breast exams for women
• Testicular exams for men

Executive physical benefits 

The benefits of getting an executive physical every year are many. You can check in with the doctor about symptoms you may have been ignoring, get fully checked out for any health issues, and even catch health conditions while they’re still minor instead of waiting until you’re really ill to seek medical attention. Once you’ve had your first executive physical, we can track your health year after year and optimize any treatment for maximum energy and vitality.
