At One Health Medical Care in Reston, Virginia, we believe preventive care is the foundation of long-term health. Many patients look forward to their yearly check-up as a safety net.
Mingliarti Tjahjana, MD, and our primary care team use these visits to build a personalized map of your health. The traditional annual physical is shifting toward personalized wellness checks, and these vital visits provide targeted screenings that match your specific age and risk factors.
High blood pressure typically has no symptoms. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends screening for high blood pressure in adults aged 18 or older without known hypertension.
At One Health Medical Care, we measure your blood pressure at every visit. If it’s elevated, we help you confirm the diagnosis with out-of-office readings before starting any hypertension treatment.
Mental health is just as important as physical health. Mood disorders, such as depression, often show up in the form of physical symptoms — like fatigue and muscle tension — too.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends screening for depression in adults aged 18 to 64. We provide compassionate support for patients with depression and anxiety. We establish a baseline for your mental health and connect you with the right follow-up care.
As you age, targeted health screenings become highly effective tools to save lives. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends colorectal cancer screening for adults starting at the age of 45, and continuing through the age of 75.
During your wellness visit, we discuss your family history and help you choose the screening option that best matches your needs.
Skin changes can happen quietly over time. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force found insufficient evidence for routine visual skin exams in average-risk, asymptomatic adults.
However, checking suspicious or changing lesions remains crucial. If you notice a changing mole, we evaluate it during your visit to determine if further testing is needed.
A wellness check isn’t about running endless, unindicated tests. The Society of General Internal Medicine advises against routine, comprehensive lab panels for healthy adults who aren’t experiencing problems or symptoms.
Instead, they recommend customized checks based on your individual risk factors. We tailor your care to your unique history. Whether we’re managing thyroid function or checking other specific markers, we only order tests that benefit your health.
We proudly serve patients from Reston, Herndon, and the surrounding Northern Virginia communities. If you’re ready to take control of your health, schedule a visit with Dr. Tjahjana and our team at One Health Medical Care in Reston, Virginia, today.
