What happens during a physical at our Westmont, IL clinic
We start with your health history, your family history and a list of your medicines. Then we measure height, weight, blood pressure and pulse, and check vision. A provider listens to your heart and lungs and examines the rest of your body based on the exam's purpose.
MedlinePlus explains that checkups can include screening tests, vaccines, and advice on diet, exercise and other habits. Which screenings you need depends on your age, sex, health and family history. If we find something that needs more testing, lab testing is available, and we may suggest follow-up with a primary care doctor.
How to prepare

A physical is a check-up, not emergency care. If you have chest pain, severe shortness of breath, sudden weakness on one side of the body, trouble speaking, or a head injury with confusion, call 911. MedlinePlus lists these as emergency warning signs.

Before your physical: quick prep
Read moreClose
Wear loose sleeves that roll up easily for the blood pressure check.
Fill out your part of any form ahead of time.
Drinking water is fine for most physicals. If lab work that needs fasting is planned, we will tell you. See can I drink water before a physical?
Bring your vaccine records. The CDC adult schedule recommends a flu vaccine every year and a Td or Tdap booster every 10 years, so a physical is a good time to catch up. See immunizations.
Look up your age group on MyHealthfinder to see which screenings may be due, and bring questions.
No. Walk in, or check in online before you arrive.
Can you fill out my school or camp form?
Yes. Bring the form with the parent or patient section completed.
Is an urgent care physical the same as a yearly checkup with my doctor?
It covers the exam and form. For long-term care of health conditions, keep seeing a primary care doctor, and share your results with them.
How long is a physical good for?
It depends on who asked for it. Many schools, leagues, camps and employers accept a physical done within about the past year, but each one sets its own rule. Check the form or ask the organization before your visit so the timing works.
Do physicals include blood work?
Not always. Form physicals usually focus on history, vital signs, vision and an exam. If your form, employer or clinician calls for testing, such as a TB test or lab testing, it can be added, and some blood tests need fasting.
What should I wear to a physical?
Wear loose, comfortable clothing with sleeves that roll up easily. Bring glasses or contacts for the vision check. Read more in what to wear to a medical exam.
Can I get a physical without insurance?
Yes. Self-pay visits start at $125, and you can ask what your physical and any added tests will cost before anything is done. See our self-pay pricing page.
