Bone Density Testing (DEXA Scan)A bone density test, or DEXA Scan, is a noninvasive, evaluation procedure that uses x-rays to measure bone mass or the weight of the skeleton. The amount of bone in the skeleton determines how strong it is. Bone densitometry is often used to measure bone mass in the spine, hips and arms, as these are the areas most likely to fracture when bone mass is low. ColonoscopyA colonoscopy is a procedure that allows the physician to view the entire length of the large intestine and can often help identify abnormal growths, inflamed tissue, ulcers and bleeding. It involves inserting a colonoscope, a long, flexible, lighted tube, in through the rectum, up into the colon. The colonoscope allows the physician to see the lining of the colon, remove tissue for further examination and possibly treat some problems that are detected. Contraceptive ManagementProvides information regarding the various forms of contraception and can assist in determining which method is best for you. Diabetes TreatmentDiabetes is a condition where the pancreas is unable to produce insulin or does not effectively use the insulin that is produced. Insulin is a hormone that removes glucose (blood sugar) from the blood and delivers it to the body's cells for fuel. Diabetes is a chronic disease for which there is no cure. Once someone has diabetes, the only treatment is ongoing management of the symptoms through meal planning, weight control, exercise, stress reduction and medication.
Echocardiogram (Echo)An echocardiogram (also known as an Echo) is a noninvasive (the skin is not pierced) procedure used to assess the heart's function and structures. During the procedure, a transducer (like a microphone) sends out ultrasonic sound waves at a frequency too high to be heard. When the transducer is placed on the chest at certain locations and angles, the ultrasonic sound waves move through the skin and other body tissues to the heart tissues, where the waves echo off of the heart structures. The transducer picks up the reflected waves and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the echoes into an image of the heart walls and valves. Employment PhysicalsEmployment physicals help employers determine proper placement of employees and reasonable accommodation of qualified applicants.
Executive PhysicalsExecutive physicals combine a comprehensive history and physical examination with advanced screening tests. Tailored diagnostic evaluations focus on promoting wellness and prevention, and thorough medical checkups and physical exams, help detect health problems before they become more severe. Flexible SigmoidoscopyFlexible sigmoidoscopy uses a short, lighted tube to examine the sigmoid colon and rectum. Flu ShotsFlu shots are available to help protect you from the influenza virus. Full-Body Skin Cancer ExamA dermatologist conducts a full-body exam of the skin to check for abnormalities that are, or could become, cancerous. Geriatric CareAddresses the complex needs of older people, focusing on health promotion and the prevention and treatment of disease and disability in the elderly. Heart Risk AssessmentAn important first step in preventing cardiovascular disease and stroke is determining your level of risk. We offer one-on-one cardiovascular risk assessments, which include cholesterol level and blood pressure checks as well as personal consultations on how to reduce your risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Menopausal CareCare for women who have reached the time in their life in which the menstrual cycle ends. Pap TestA Pap test (also called Pap smear) involves microscopic examination of cells collected from the cervix, used to detect changes that may be cancer or may lead to cancer, and to show noncancerous conditions, such as infection or inflammation.

Pelvic ExamDuring a pelvic examination, a physician examines the uterus, vagina, ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder and rectum. Pelvic ExamDuring a pelvic examination, a physician examines the uterus, vagina, ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder and rectum.

Stress TestingStress testing (usually with ECG; also called treadmill or exercise ECG) is a test that is given while a patient walks on a treadmill or pedals a stationary bike to monitor the heart during exercise. Breathing and blood pressure rates are also monitored. A stress test may be used to detect coronary artery disease, and/or to determine safe levels of exercise following a heart attack or heart surgery. Presbyterian Internal Medicine - North
