The EHS Corporate Care Executive Physical

The EHS Executive Physical begins with a comprehensive health history and risk factor questionnaire. Subsequently, a comprehensive exam provides a head-to-toe, age- and gender-appropriate examination in our relaxed medical suite in Reston. The physical typically takes 2 – 4 hours, returning you to a productive day.

The EHS Executive Physical includes:

• Broad panels of laboratory studies, including screens for anemia, diabetes, metabolic disorders, thyroid dysfunction, liver and kidney problems, cholesterol, and cardiac disease markers.
• Coordination of further advanced screening or diagnostic tests when indicated, utilizing your insurance benefits when possible.
• Immunizations and other disease-specific screens when indicated, and discounted cutting-edge technologies for further screening (coronary CT angiogram, Carotid and aorta screening, etc).
• Arrangements can be made for additional procedures such as chest x-ray, colon cancer screening (virtual or standard colonoscopy), carotid artery blood flow assessment, aortic aneurysm screening, bone density evaluation, and cardiac stress testing. ‘Total body’ and ‘ultra-fast cardiac’ CT scans are scheduled when needed. For female clients, breast exam, gynecologic exam and Pap smear are available, and mammography can be arranged.
