                      Five Reasons To Make That Well Visit Appointment

                      3/17/2021

                      Clarksville, TN, 3/16/2021 – If you’ve put off seeing your doctor for fear of catching or spreading the COVID-19 virus, Tennova Medical Group wants you to know it’s safe and important to come in.

                      Precautions for your safety include masking of all patients and providers, checking temperature of all clinic visitors, screening clinic staff multiple times during the shift, asking that that only the patient comes in, and enhanced cleaning of commonly touched surfaces.

                      “It’s important for families in our community to feel comfortable getting the care they need,” said Dr. Ebrhim, M.D. “Many patients have postponed medical visits, like wellness exams and screenings, during the past year. A trusted primary care provider can help you get back on track and make a plan for your ongoing health and well-being."

                      Here are five reasons to make an appointment for your next well-visit or check-up without delay.

                      Check on your general health. The clinic has a record of your health metrics over time, including cholesterol, blood sugar, weight and others. If any numbers are trending in the wrong direction, your doctor can help you make a plan to get back on track with lifestyle changes, diet or medical treatment.

                      Manage chronic conditions. Ongoing medical concerns, whether diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or others require regular monitoring by a provider to keep them from progressing to life-threatening levels. Regular checkups can help you avoid a medical crisis.

                      Identify issues early with routine screenings. The practice keeps records of your screening exams to help you remember when it’s time to get your colonoscopy, mammogram, bone density test, prostate exam and other screenings. Early identification of many illnesses can give you the most options for treatment and better outcomes.

                      Stay current on vaccinations for your protection. While you’re hearing plenty of news about the COVID-19 vaccine, there are a number of other vaccinations to prevent disease as your immune system weakens over time. Flu shots annually. Tetanus shots every ten years. Vaccines for shingles and pneumonia and more. The practice will remind you when it’s time to get your immunizations.

                      Keep prescriptions updated. Bring a full list of your medications, including any over-the-counter, so your physician has a complete picture of what you’re taking. An annual review can identify possible side effects or medication conflicts.

                      Of course, the best reason of all is peace of mind about your health. Tennova Medical Group has primary care providers in convenient locations on Tiny Town Road and in Dover to make it easy for you to access care.

                      If you need help finding a primary care physician, call (931) 502-2423 (Tiny Town) or (931) 232-5141 (Dover) or visit https://www.tennovamedicalgroup.com/ to be connected with one of Tennova Medical Group’s qualified family medicine physicians.
