What should I expect during my appointment?
When you arrive for an evaluation at Unifying Health Center, friendly staff members greet you. They often complete the following steps during medical evaluations and diagnostic testing:
Vital signs check
Medical providers assess your pulse, blood pressure, body weight, and other vital signs during the vital signs check portion of your evaluation.
Medical history review
Dr. Pathak discusses your medical history. This includes current and past diagnoses, medications you’re taking, family history of disease, and symptoms you might have.
Medical evaluation
During a medical examination, Dr. Pathak evaluates your eyes, ears, throat, breathing, reflexes, and heartbeat. He looks for signs of medical conditions that may warrant discounted lab testing.
Diagnostic testing
The diagnostic testing portion of a medical evaluation may include blood tests, stool tests, urine tests, nasal or throat swabs, or tissue biopsies. These tests are all noninvasive, so you can expect little to no discomfort during each procedure.
Dr. Pathak numbs the treatment area before completing a tissue biopsy, which is a procedure in which he takes a tissue sample and sends it to a lab for analysis.
What happens when I get my lab test results?
You can expect discounted lab test results the same day as your appointment or a day or two later. Dr. Pathak discusses the results with you and may recommend additional diagnostic testing, prescription medications, injections, or other treatments as needed to maximize your health and reduce the risk of complications.
