What should I expect during physical exams?

During physical exams at RGV Urgent Care Clinic, compassionate providers greet you and complete the following:

Vital signs check

Your RGV Urgent Care Clinic specialist weighs you, determines your body mass index (BMI), and checks your pulse, blood pressure, and other vital signs during this portion of a physical exam.

Medical history review

Your provider also reviews your medical history. They ask questions about your personal and family histories of disease, medications, symptoms, and lifestyle habits.

Screening

Depending on your disease factors or the requirements on your physical exam form, you might need specific diagnostic tests.

The RGV Urgent Care Clinic team may suggest urine testing, blood tests, heart- or lung-function tests, hearing and vision screenings, sexually transmitted disease (STD) testing, or imaging procedures. You may undergo a mental health screening too.

Treatment

If you need treatment for any reason, your RGV Urgent Care Clinic specialist can help. They may recommend lifestyle changes, medical weight loss, dietary supplements, prescription medications, an inhaler, or minor procedures. Your urgent care provider might refer you to a specialist if you have a complex medical problem.

When should I schedule physical exams?
