Our Executive Health Services for International Patients

An executive physical is a convenient way to get a thorough snapshot of your current health and risks. During your Executive Health assessment, we streamline all tests and exams that might ordinarily take place over several days or weeks and schedule them on the same day in a single four- to six-hour appointment. We will complete all your lab tests the same day as your exam. Your morning will begin with a blood draw and conclude with a discussion with your doctor, based on the results of your tests from that day. This kind of real-time assessment helps you and your doctor map out the appropriate plan for your health, and, if any specialist referrals are appropriate, or further testing is required, those follow-ups will be scheduled that day.

Your patient liaison from our Global Health Care Services team will help facilitate your registrations and other requirements for this appointment.

We will personalize your executive physical based on your needs and interests. If there is a particular area of concern you would like to address, or if there are additional preventive care tests you are interested in receiving, we can add individual services can be added to any of the offered health assessment packages.
