What Types of Physical Examinations Do We Provide

DOC-AID Urgent Care offer a variety of physical examinations to suit your needs including:

What happens during the physical exam?

Depending on your health status, a standard physical examination may involve:

 

Updated Medical History
Your provider will inquire about any recent changes in your health history. This may cover medications, allergies, supplements, occupation, relationships, and recent surgeries.

 

Vital Sign Assessments
This includes measuring your blood pressure, respiratory rate, and heart rate. The frequency of blood pressure checks typically ranges from once a year to every three years, depending on your medical background.

 

Visual Inspection
The provider will visually examine your physical appearance for any potential issues.

 

Physical Examination
The provider will inspect your ears, eyes, nose, and throat. They will also listen to your lungs and heart. The physical examination involves palpating various body parts for abnormalities and assessing your reflexes and motor functions.

 

Laboratory Tests
The provider may collect blood samples for various laboratory tests to complete the physical exam. These may include a complete blood count and a comprehensive metabolic panel, also known as a chemistry panel. The panel analyzes your blood plasma and can detect liver, kidney, immune system, and blood chemistry issues. This aids in identifying any underlying abnormalities that could signal a larger health problem.

Preparation For Your Physical Exam

To make the most of your exam and help us better partner in your care, please come prepared with the following information:

  • Any notable changes in your health
  • Recent lab results, diagnostic tests, or immunizations (bring your immunization card if available)
  • Your current prescription and over-the-counter medications with dosages
  • Names of vitamins and supplements you regularly take
  • Updates to your medical history: surgeries, hospitalizations, new allergies, and new diagnoses from other physicians
  • Updates to your family medical history
  • For females: the first day of your last menstrual period

They take FOREVER to see you. They put you in a waiting room, and have you waiting literally an hour just to see the doctor. I've been here for over an hour, and no one has come to talk to me or see me. All I wanted was a consultant, and they can't even do that right. My appointment was at 2:00pm, and it's 3:25pm and still have not been seen by anyone but the medical assistant.

My daughter felt immediately comfortable and at ease, which made the visit so much smoother. The doctor was kind, patient, and took the time to explain everything in detail, answering all our questions with care. It was clear that the doctor truly values the well-being of their patients.

I loved this urgent care. I took my son a few times best doc. Until yesterday while I was at work my mom took my daughter. The front desk lady kept telling my mom that my daughters ss# was invalid. That the system was down. BS! My mom told the front desk lady that my daughter had medicaid with MOLINA. And there was this other girl working there said a comment WHAT IS MONLINA? what is that.? Like you work there and don’t know your insurances. I call that racism. Never going back again. Believe me I told off the front desk lady by phone I had to leave work and pulled up. She didn’t believe my daughter had social security or Medicaid. Worst service!

I recently visited an urgent care clinic with my daughter, who was experiencing UTI symptoms. Katia, the nurse practitioner, along with Anissa and Ashley, provided care during our visit. I found them to be attentive and patient while addressing my toddler's needs. The overall service was efficient, and I appreciated the support they offered during our time there.

When you give customers roundabout answers so that you can avoid confrontation, you treat them like fools and it feels bad, but who cares about the customer, right?

Edit: Within hours, I was called by management to resolve the issue that happened. I am very impressed with that level of customer service, and it made me feel valued and heard.
To be explicit, my situation was not life or death nor was I in a place with no options. This was a situation where I just wanted to understand what was happening and why it was happening and got no real answer — it was the lack of value I felt as a customer in the moment. Thank you for rectifying that and making me feel like I can trust this place. Most places in Laredo wouldn’t even follow up with the customer. It means more than you know.

My family and I always visit Doc-Aid when we’re sick. Not only are they friendly, but they are extremely efficient, thorough, and a great office in general. They’ll always go out of their way to make you, or in my case my daughter, feel welcomed and safe. Will definitely keep going back to them.

I took my son in this morning and everyone was very friendly from the moment we were greeted in the front. They passed us in to a room super quick and the MA who took care of my son was Michelle M. she was so nice to him. He was having a meltdown and Michelle was able to calm him down and he even let her collect the sample! If we ever need to come back we'll be back here to see Michelle!

Loved that there was no wait time. Once we got assigned to an exam room Ximena took vitals and did great with my son. She was fast and made sure to take her time with my son to get the samples needed with swabs for testing. Provider Oscar Villarreal heard our concerns and examined my son. Provider was very easy to talk to. In all I am pleased with the fast service and provider and staff attention to my son and all my concerns.

I recently visited the urgent care on Monarch Drive because my son wasn’t feeling well. We typically don’t like visiting the doctors or urgent cares, but we had such a great experience despite my son being sick.

As soon as I walked in, we were greeted with professionalism and friendliness. They were extremely efficient and got us checked in quickly!

The staff was attentive and thorough and really made me feel like they cared especially Michelle M! She was so good with my son he even felt comfortable talking to her directly about his concerns and how he was feeling. She has exceptionally customer service and will be one of the main reasons we go back when the need arises.

I highly recommend this urgent care facility!

DOC-AID offers exceptional service, consistently delivering quick and efficient care. During all my visits, Michelle Munoz, the medical assistant, stood out as an exceptional individual. Her warm and friendly demeanor, coupled with her wealth of knowledge and attentive care for my children, made my experience truly remarkable. Within minutes, they efficiently accommodated my children and me in a room. I wholeheartedly recommend DOC-AID for any medical needs you may have. Ms. Munoz’s genuine interest in understanding your concerns and ensuring you receive the appropriate medical care is truly commendable. My children have a special fondness for her, and I will definitely request her again when we return.

Lady's at front desk area welcomed us and of course gathered all necessary admission information and were quick to get my children and I a room. I highly recommend DOC-AID if you’re needing medical attention. Ms. Munoz will take the time to listen and make sure you get the correct medical attention needed. Thank you all for taking care of my family when needed. YOU ALL ARE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED 🫶🏻

15:53 09 Oct 23
Children were seen in a timely manner. Staff were polite.

The reason for the low rating was due to the lack of explaining, lab results were not given in the office. They asked us to leave and we received the results over a text.

Wish that we were educated on what to expect as we had never dealt with the diagnosis that the children received.

I called multiple times to get information, to get guidance, and the children were only prescribed over the counter medication.

I feel like it was a waste and money.

Went to doc aid today . Was seen by doc Erica and Cosme. Cosme did an amazing job taking care of my needs and was great at giving injections. Doc Erica was amazing she diagnosed my problem and gave me treatment. I’ve been to, Two different urgent cares here in Laredo for the same issue. Vital meds and Laredo urgent care, Each time I felt rushed out and not heard. They gave me medication that had no affect. Today at doc aid the communication was excellently and I would recommend doc aid to all my federal co-workers.

First time at this facility and really liked how staff was patient with my crying child. Very attentive staff. Nurse practitioner was knowledgeable and able to answer my questions in a very professional manner. Wait time was very reasonable given the fact that I had a scheduled appointment.

My first experience at Doc Aid Monarch was convenient professional fast & friendly. I was having severe gas & stomach pains so I avoided the crowd & long wait at LMC. I’m so happy I did. The staff took great care of me, they are professional and I left with my prescription & work excuse note in less than 30 min. I feel much better and this experience made me realize if I ever have a medical problem I’ll be back for another great experience at Doc Aid!!! Thank you very much 😊
