Preventive health is a strategy that involves regularly monitoring your health to check for early warning signs of chronic disease. It also involves incorporating healthy lifestyle changes that can dramatically lower your risk of chronic conditions, even if they seem to run in your family.
As part of the concierge service at Premium Healthcare, Dr. Felzer incorporates preventive health into each and every appointment — even sick visits. He ensures all screenings are complete and spends time counseling you on changes you can make in your daily life to ensure you stay healthy.
