Getting a man to see a doctor can be tricky. Most think they don’t need to go if they aren’t sick. However, as Dr. William Brant tells us in the video, there are several issues men should discuss in order to stay healthy, and prevent serious illnesses like heart disease. Dr. Brant also has some ideas for convincing the men in your life to make an appointment today.

No man wants to go in for a health evaluation and spend the morning in a waiting room bored. So to avoid that scenario, a visit at the Men's Health Clinic gets you breakfast, some much needed ESPN time, and will consist of the following:

  1. Physical exam by a family medicine physician
  2. Blood testing to check cholesterol (LDL, HDL, and triglycerides) and blood sugar or glucose level
  3. Hearing test
  4. Fitness evaluation and consultation with physical therapist
  5. Nutrition assessment and consultation with a dietitian Be sure to watch the video for more tips on men's health.
