Annual Wellness Visits

Your annual visit should tell you more than that everything looks fine.

Most people leave their annual physical with a clean bill of health and more questions than answers. At Modern Human MD, Dr. Tran takes a different approach. Your wellness visit is a dedicated, unhurried appointment to assess where you are, understand what you're noticing, and build a clear picture of your health — not just rule out illness. Whether your goal is to stay ahead of risk, optimize how you feel day to day, or finally get answers to concerns you've been putting off, this is where that conversation starts.

Unhurried time with Dr. Tran to discuss what's actually on your mind

Who It May Help

  • You want a thorough yearly evaluation that goes beyond the basics
  • You have a family history of conditions you'd like to screen for early
  • You've been putting off a checkup and want a fresh, comprehensive starting point
  • You feel like something is off but past visits haven't given you useful answers
  • You're focused on longevity and want to track your health trends over time
  • You want to build an ongoing relationship with a physician who knows your full picture
  • You're navigating a health transition — hormonal changes, aging, stress — and want support

What Your Wellness Visit Includes

Dr. Tran conducts a thorough review of your health history, current symptoms, medications, lifestyle, and personal goals. Depending on your age, history, and concerns, your visit may include a physical exam, updated screening recommendations, and lab work that looks beyond routine markers at hormonal balance, metabolic function, cardiovascular risk, and inflammation. Every element of the visit is shaped around you — not a checklist. Dr. Tran takes the time to understand what matters most to you and to make sure you leave with a clear sense of where things stand and what, if anything, makes sense to address.

Prevention as a Strategy, Not Just a Catchphrase

Preventive care is most powerful when it's personalized. Rather than applying population-level guidelines uniformly, Dr. Tran considers your individual risk factors, lifestyle, and goals to prioritize the screenings and conversations most relevant to you. Your annual visit can also serve as the foundation for longer-term care — tracking changes over time, catching subtle shifts before they become significant, and adjusting your plan as your health evolves. It's not just a snapshot. It's the beginning of a bigger picture.

Before Your First Visit

  • Write down any symptoms, concerns, or questions you've been meaning to bring up — no matter how small they seem
  • Note your family health history, especially any patterns around heart disease, cancer, diabetes, or hormonal conditions
  • Bring a list of any supplements, medications, or treatments you're currently taking
  • Think about your goals — not just health concerns, but how you want to feel and what you want to be able to do

Important

An annual wellness visit is a preventive and evaluative appointment — it is not intended to replace urgent or specialty care when those are needed. If something requires further workup or referral, Dr. Tran will discuss that with you clearly and help coordinate next steps. The goal is always to make sure you have the information and support you need to make confident decisions about your health.

Frequently Asked Questions

1How is this different from a standard annual physical at a conventional practice?

At Modern Human MD, you'll have more time with Dr. Tran, a more thorough conversation about your symptoms and goals, and access to advanced lab testing and integrative care options that go beyond what a typical 15-minute visit can offer.

2What kind of lab work is included in the wellness visit?

Lab recommendations are personalized to you. In addition to standard panels, Dr. Tran may suggest testing for hormonal balance, thyroid function, metabolic markers, cardiovascular risk, and inflammation depending on your age, history, and concerns.

3Do I need to come in even if I feel perfectly healthy?

That's actually the best time to come in. Preventive visits are most valuable when nothing is wrong yet — they establish a baseline, catch early changes, and give you a clear picture of your health before symptoms develop.

4Can I use my wellness visit to address an ongoing concern I've been managing elsewhere?

Absolutely. Dr. Tran welcomes the opportunity to review your full health picture, including anything you've been working on with other providers. Bringing in previous records or test results can be a helpful starting point.

5How often should I schedule a wellness visit?

For most adults, once a year is a good rhythm — though Dr. Tran may recommend more frequent check-ins depending on your health goals, any active concerns, or if you're in the middle of a care plan.

6How does Modern Human MD handle payment for wellness visits?

Modern Human MD is a direct-pay practice, meaning there are no insurance intermediaries. All fees are transparent and discussed with you upfront so you always know what to expect.

Your health deserves more than a quick once-over once a year.

Dr. Tran takes the time to understand your full picture — your history, your concerns, and your goals — and builds a prevention-first plan that's actually tailored to you.
