Appointment Types
Annual Physical Exams
Annual physicals are important for even healthy individuals; they provide an opportunity for preventive care and early detection of potential health issues. Regular check-ups allow doctors to monitor overall health, assess risk factors, and provide personalized guidance to maintain well-being and prevent future complications.
Women’s Health
In addition to providing Women’s gynecological exams (Paps, Vaginal exams, etc), Dr. O’Keefe strives to help women feel their best. For women over 35 years old, this often means evaluating the role declining hormones play in their quality (and quantity) of life.
Lifestyle Counseling
If you know something needs to change, but aren’t sure what or how, let Dr. O’Keefe take out the guess work. Together you can create a care plan that suites your individual goals and needs.
Well Child Visits
Well child exams are necessary to monitor a child's growth, development, and overall health. These regular check-ups allow physicians to identify any potential issues early on, provide necessary vaccinations, and offer guidance to parents on nutrition, safety, and developmental milestones. It’s also a great time to allow little ones to become comfortable talking to their doctor.
Preventative Practices
Preventative practices are crucial for maintaining optimal health and reducing the risk of developing chronic diseases. By adopting healthy habits, such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, and routine screenings, individuals can proactively take control of their well-being and potentially prevent the onset of various health conditions.
Sports Physicals
Sports physicals are essential for athletes as they help identify any underlying health conditions or injuries that may affect their participation in sports. These exams assess the athlete's physical fitness, screen for potential risks, and provide recommendations for injury prevention and performance optimization, ensuring a safe and successful sports experience.
Cardiac Screening
We only get one heart! In addition to regular physicals, we offer cardiac screening exams during which Dr. O’Keefe will review specific labs, vital signs, and your EKG, in addition to a thorough physical exam. We will identify risk factors that need to be addressed to ensure you live a long, healthy life.
Chronic Disease Management
Chronic disease management by a physician is crucial for individuals living with long-term health conditions. Physicians play a vital role in developing personalized treatment plans, monitoring disease progression, and providing ongoing support to help patients effectively manage their symptoms, improve quality of life, and prevent complications. Through regular check-ups, medication management, lifestyle modifications, and patient education, physicians empower individuals to take control of their health and optimize their well-being despite the challenges of chronic illness.
Acute Care Visits
Accidents and illnesses happen. In an insurance based model, you often wait 2 weeks for an appointment, which is unacceptable. We offer same day and next day appointments to get you back on your feet and back to living your life!
Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment/Therapy
Osteopathic manipulative therapy (OMT) is a hands-on treatment approach used by osteopathic physicians to diagnose, treat, and prevent illness or injury. It involves gentle manipulation of the musculoskeletal system to improve mobility, relieve pain, and enhance the body's natural healing abilities.
