Physicals are preventive exams you schedule each year, even when you’re feeling well. The goals of a physical are to track changes in your health from one year to the next and to identify health issues in their earliest stages. Annual physicals are a great way to stay on top of your health. Our medical team offers comprehensive physicals for children and adults. TFM also provides specialized immigration and Department of Transportation (DOT) physicals that meet local, state, and federal requirements. Call the office at 203-334-2100 to schedule physicals for you and your family.

If our team identifies a potential health issue that requires further testing or treatment, you might not pass your physical. If that’s the case, your doctor will work with you on a treatment plan to address your health issues. During a follow-up visit, the doctor typically performs another physical to evaluate your health after your treatment begins.
