Annual Physicals & Preventive Care in the DC Metro Area

Annual physicals at Millennium Medical Center are not a checkbox exercise. Dr. Shayma, MD — board-certified internal medicine physician — conducts a comprehensive evaluation of your health, reviews your labs, assesses your risk factors, and builds a preventive plan that accounts for your full picture — including hormonal health, metabolic function, and lifestyle.

Internal Medicine in the DC Metro Area

Not just a checkup — a complete health review

An annual physical at Millennium is a structured, comprehensive review of your health — covering vital signs, organ systems, laboratory results, medication review, preventive screening status, and personal health goals. Because Dr. Shayma is a board-certified internal medicine physician with a focus on hormonal and metabolic health, your annual physical goes deeper than a standard checkup — integrating hormonal markers and metabolic risk factors that most annual physicals simply do not assess.

Answer

An annual physical at Millennium includes a full body exam, bloodwork review, preventive screening assessment, and a personalized plan for the year ahead — conducted entirely by Dr. Shayma, not a medical assistant or PA.

Why annual physicals matter more as you age

The value of an annual physical increases with age — particularly for patients in their 40s, 50s, and beyond, when chronic disease risk accelerates, hormonal changes affect metabolic health, and cancer screening intervals become clinically significant. Dr. Shayma’s internal medicine background means your annual physical is calibrated to your specific age, risk profile, and health history.

What’s Covered

Everything included in your annual physical at Millennium

A complete annual physical evaluation is not a one-size-fits-all protocol — it is built around your age, health history, and risk factors.

01

Head-to-Toe Physical Exam & Lab Bloodwork Review

Vital signs, BMI, HEENT, cardiovascular and respiratory auscultation, abdominal palpation, musculoskeletal assessment, neurological screening, and skin examination — conducted by Dr. Shayma personally. Comprehensive metabolic panel, CBC, lipid panel, HbA1c, fasting glucose, thyroid panel, vitamin D, B12 — results reviewed in detail, not just flagged as normal or abnormal.

02

Cancer Screening Coordination & Cardiovascular Risk Assessment

Colonoscopy referral (45+), mammogram coordination, cervical cancer screening, lung cancer screening (LDCT for high-risk patients), and skin cancer evaluation during the physical exam. ASCVD 10-year risk calculation, blood pressure trend review, cholesterol management guidance, diabetes risk stratification, and statin therapy evaluation where clinically indicated.

03

Hormonal Health Evaluation & Personalized Health Plan

Thyroid function assessment, menopausal symptom review, testosterone evaluation for appropriate patients, adrenal function screening — integrated into the physical for patients where hormonal factors are clinically relevant. A clear 12-month plan: what to monitor, what screenings are due, what lifestyle factors to address, and when to return.

04

Personalized Health Plan

A clear 12-month plan: what to monitor, what screenings are due, what lifestyle factors to address, what referrals are recommended, and when to return. Not a printout — a conversation.
