I'm 58 and have always been very healthy. I've never thought much about a full physical being done. But I know it's timearanoid:. You know, bloodwork, colonoscopy, cardiac workup and for guys...the dreaded prostate.
Had the colonoscopy @ HOMS by Dr. Ruben Russel, a fine physician, last January. Everything, including a pre-anesthesia cardiac consult, came to under $600 and was a first class experience in every respect. During the cardiac exam with Dr. Santiago Garcia, he asked if I'd ever had a full heart workup...and I never have. He suggested it's time and I agreed since Dad CB died suddenly at a fairly early age (46).
So last week I had a echocardiogram, doppler carotid and stress test, all @ HOMS in one morning. Another excellent First World experience, fine facility with quality technicians, first class equipment and an army of qualified physicians. And the total cost? Right at $300. That is far less than the deductible on my old US insurance policy.
A bit of humor: I was told to dress for a workout, so came dressed like a DomYork in nice gym shorts, T-shirt, socks and athletic shoes. I was almost not admitted into the clinic because they have a dress code: no shorts.
Bottom line: 2-for-2 in an excellent healthcare experience. I highly recommend HOMS and their medical staff.
(Note: Prostate exam is next, but I'm certain I won't be posting about my experience...:cheeky
