Where can I go get a physical / check up?

Prepare Thy Anus

Any primary care physician

Call up BR Clinic and ask for an internal medicine doctor. They can do blood work and all there, too, if you want a full exam.

I reccomend Dr. Bascom at Guthrie Family Medicine

I'm pushing 40 and I realize I havent been to a Dr in 5 years...I'm way overdue for a physical and need to do it before the end of the year - looking for an easy place to get this done... any ideas?

First place I would look is the OT Lounge on Tigerdroppings...if that doesnt work I'll look in the Yellow Pages and call around to see who can take you the soonest......the doctors that dont have an open apt for a few months..those are never the really good doctors. Find a Dr that can take you tomorrow or Friday..those are usally the best ones

Then you need to make sure the Dr you choose takes your insurance in case he wants to to lab/blood work

If both his hands are on your shoulders during the prostate exam or when you ask where to put your pants and he says next to his then your visit is probably going to be free

Dr. Yorek in BR. Had my first physical this past year. He took his time and was very thorough. If you have health insurance, a wellness exam is typically free.

Dr. Yorek is great. This thread can joke about the prostate exam but several years of complete physicals with Dr. Yorek helped him catch my prostate cancer early.
