If your career, family, and life depend on you operating at peak performance, a standard 15-minute annual physical isn't enough. Executive wellness exams provide a comprehensive, time-efficient deep dive into your health — designed specifically for busy professionals.

Here's what a true executive physical includes, who benefits most, and how it differs from a standard annual visit.

What Sets an Executive Exam Apart

A standard annual physical covers basic screening. An executive exam goes further:

Extended one-on-one consultation (60–90 minutes) — no rushed visit.

Advanced biomarker testing — beyond basic cholesterol and glucose.

Cardiovascular assessment including EKG and advanced lipid panels.

Cancer screening guidance coordinated and explained.

Personalized lifestyle and performance optimization protocols.

Same-day test results when possible.

Ongoing relationship with direct provider access for follow-up questions.

Who Should Consider an Executive Exam

C-suite executives and business owners

Healthcare professionals with demanding schedules

High-net-worth individuals seeking proactive care

Adults 40+ who haven't had comprehensive screening recently

Anyone with a strong family history of cardiovascular disease, cancer, or diabetes

Patients who want a single coordinated annual deep-dive rather than fragmented care

Comprehensive Lab Testing

Standard chemistries: comprehensive metabolic panel, complete blood count, lipid panel, HbA1c.

Advanced cardiovascular: lipoprotein(a), apolipoprotein B, hsCRP for inflammation.

Hormone evaluation: thyroid panel, vitamin D, B12, testosterone (men), DHEA-S.

Diabetes/insulin resistance: fasting insulin, HOMA-IR.

Cancer screening: PSA (men over 50), discussion of stool-based or colonoscopy screening.

All run through our in-office lab services.

Cardiovascular Risk Assessment

Heart disease remains the leading killer of American adults. We evaluate:

Resting EKG for rhythm abnormalities — see our EKG testing service.

10-year ASCVD risk calculation

Blood pressure trends

Family history risk stratification

Personalized prevention plan — diet, exercise, medication, stress management.

Patients with elevated risk are referred for additional testing such as coronary calcium scoring when appropriate.

Cancer Screening Strategy

Comprehensive review of screening status and personalized recommendations:

Skin cancer: Full body skin exam.

Colon cancer: Colonoscopy at 45 or earlier with family history.

Breast cancer: Mammogram timing guidance.

Cervical cancer: Pap and HPV testing schedule.

Prostate cancer: PSA discussion for appropriate men.

Lung cancer: Low-dose CT for eligible smokers.

Performance Optimization

Beyond disease screening, we focus on optimizing how you feel and perform daily:

Sleep quality assessment and screening for sleep apnea

Energy and fatigue evaluation — including B12 status

Stress and mental health screening

Body composition and metabolic evaluation

Personalized nutrition guidance

Strength and exercise recommendations

Privacy, Time Efficiency, and Concierge Care

Executive exams are scheduled in extended blocks to avoid waiting. Test results, follow-up questions, and ongoing care are coordinated through direct provider communication. The American College of Preventive Medicine emphasizes that comprehensive preventive care models substantially improve outcomes for high-risk professionals.
