Movember

Studies show that men are much more likely to resist going to the doctor for preventative care than women.  The Cleveland Clinic conducted a study in 2019 showing that over 50% of males did not get regular checkups and 72% would rather do household chores instead. Of those who did go and see their doctor, 20% admitted that they hadn’t been 100% honest while they were there because of embarrassment, denial, etc. These findings are due in large part to the persistent stigma that men should be tough and resist needing help. Going to the doctor is viewed as a weakness. In order to combat this stigma, Movember has become a leading charity dedicated to raising awareness and funds for men’s health. Movember hosts an annual event inviting men all around the world to grow...

During the COVID-19 pandemic, patients are understandably hesitant to go into their doctor’s office. Although telemedicine is a reliable option, seeing your doctor in person is invaluable. We are still encouraging patients to schedule their annual physicals!   We would much rather see you when you are well and catch illnesses when they are just beginning and often asymptomatic. The purpose of an annual wellness check is to prevent illness and screen for conditions that could jeopardize your health. As an example, the majority of those who learn at their annual physical that they have early diabetes or elevated cholesterol were unaware of these problems prior to the physical. In addition, we ensure that your mental health is in a good place as we screen for depression...
