Stay ahead of the health problems that tend to build quietly with age. We provide preventive care for adults and seniors across Gilbert and the East Valley, with yearly checkups, screenings, and recommended vaccines.
What is Preventive Care?
Preventive care is the regular, planned care that helps you stay ahead of problems, rather than the kind you get once something has already gone wrong. It covers your yearly checkup, the screenings and vaccines that fit your age, and a clear look at your numbers.
High blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar can build for years without a single symptom. A preventive visit is a chance to check for them and review your numbers. We’ve cared for Gilbert families since 2003, so we know your history and follow it over time.

Preventive Care FAQs
How often should adults get a preventive checkup?
Most adults benefit from a checkup once a year. We may suggest a different schedule based on your age, health, and risk factors.
Is a preventive visit the same as a physical?
Not always. A Medicare Wellness visit focuses on building a prevention plan and isn’t a hands-on physical. A standard physical includes a head-to-toe exam. We’ll tell you which fits your situation.
Does insurance cover preventive care?
Most plans cover preventive services like annual wellness visits and recommended screenings. Coverage varies, so confirm with your plan before your visit.
What should I bring to my visit?
Bring your insurance card, a photo ID, and a list of every medication and supplement you take, including over-the-counter items.
Do you see new patients for preventive care in Gilbert?
Yes. We welcome new adult and senior patients across Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler, and Queen Creek.
