Health goals top nearly every list of New Year’s resolutions, but even the strongest intentions can fade without the right foundation. January gives you a chance to start fresh, reset your priorities, and build real momentum toward feeling your best. The most powerful way to begin? A wellness review with board-certified internal medicine physician Douglas Hilbert, MD, FACP. Specializing in concierge medicine in San Antonio, Dr. Hilbert offers an in-depth, preventive approach that sets the stage for healthier choices year-round.
Why January is the Right Time For Wellness Exams
A new year often brings motivation to reset habits, improve energy levels, lose extra weight, improve nutrition, and make long-term changes. Beginning the year with a full wellness review helps establish a medical baseline so progress can be measured throughout the coming months.
It can also identify early indicators of health concerns before they become noticeable or derail your daily life.
The Difference With a Concierge Wellness Review
Dr. Hilbert’s approach is centered on time, detail, and advanced diagnostics. As a concierge physician, he limits his patient panel so each person receives highly personalized attention.
Membership costs an average of just over $5 a day yet gives patients direct access and comprehensive support.
Instead of a quick annual visit, this model allows for a thorough evaluation that looks at the full picture of your health. Patients spend at least a full hour with Dr. Hilbert during their first, so it’s a truly comprehensive exam. It’s a wellness checkup on a whole new level.
What a January Wellness Review Includes
A wellness review with Dr. Hilbert includes an in-depth physical exam and advanced medical testing performed conveniently in the office. This creates a streamlined process that delivers detailed information without requiring visits to multiple locations for imaging or lab work.
Components of the exam vary with age and health needs, but commonly include:
• EKG for heart evaluation
• Chest X-ray for lung and cardiac assessment
• DEXA scan for bone density and trabecular analysis of bone microarchitecture
• DEXA-based body composition, including visceral fat, muscle mass, and metabolic rate
Laboratory testing is equally comprehensive. A typical review examines blood health, kidney and liver function, electrolytes, thyroid levels, inflammation markers, vitamin levels, glucose control, lipid panels, and age- or gender-specific tests when appropriate. These studies provide a detailed understanding of internal health and give patients actionable information for the year ahead.
All of these tests are highly unusual to find in routine checkups or physicals with most doctors. The Dr. Hilbert difference is his proactive, preventive wellness approach. Your January wellness checkup lays a foundation you can build upon as you pursue your health and wellness goals.
