Primary Care / Preventive & Wellness

A routine visit can protect the health you have now.

Preventive care gives you time to review your health before a problem becomes urgent. We use the visit to understand history, identify risk factors, review medications, and discuss appropriate screening and follow-up.

Understanding preventive care

Prevention is a conversation, not just a checklist.

A preventive visit is time set aside to look at your health while nothing feels urgent. Instead of focusing on a single symptom, the visit steps back: how your history, medications, family background, and daily habits fit together, and what deserves attention before it becomes a problem.

Many health changes build slowly. Blood pressure, weight, sleep, and energy can shift gradually enough to miss day to day. Regular wellness visits give you and your care team a baseline to compare against, so small changes can be noticed and discussed early.

Your first visit

What to expect at a preventive visit.

  1. 01

    Call 702-988-3177 to set up a wellness visit, and mention any specific concerns you want time to discuss.

  2. 02

    Your clinician reviews medical and family history, current medications, allergies, and any prior records you bring.

  3. 03

    Vital signs and a general health assessment help establish your baseline.

  4. 04

    You discuss screenings that may be appropriate for your age, history, and risk factors, and labs may be ordered when clinically appropriate.

  5. 05

    The visit ends with a plan: what to watch, what to follow up on, and when a return visit may make sense.

What care may include

The parts of a preventive visit.

The exact visit depends on age, history, risk, insurance benefits, and the services active at this location.

01

History review

Medical, family, and lifestyle history, updated so decisions rest on current information.

02

Medication & allergy review

A look at everything you take — prescriptions, over-the-counter medicines, and supplements.

03

Vitals & assessment

Vital signs and a general health assessment appropriate to the visit.

04

Screening discussion

Age- and risk-appropriate screening options, explained so you can decide together.

05

Lifestyle counseling

A practical conversation about nutrition, sleep, activity, and stress.

06

Labs when appropriate

Laboratory orders when clinically indicated, with follow-up on results.

Practical preparation

Bring the information that helps us help you.

If possible, bring a medication list, recent laboratory or imaging results, specialist information, insurance card, and the health questions you want to discuss. If testing, follow-up, or referrals are recommended, we will explain what comes next.

How often should I have a preventive visit?

It depends on your age, health history, and risk factors. Your clinician can recommend a rhythm that fits your situation rather than a one-size-fits-all interval.

Can I bring up a new symptom during a wellness visit?

Yes — mention it when you call so enough time can be planned. Depending on the concern, the team may recommend a separate acute visit instead.

Will I need lab work?

Not always. Labs are ordered when clinically appropriate based on your history, risk factors, and the screenings you and your clinician agree on.
