Minnesota state law requires children, adolescents, and teens to pass a physical exam at least once every three years to participate in competitive sports.

A well-woman exam is a gynecological assessment that includes reproductive health counseling, STD testing, and health screenings for women. During a well-woman exam, you can also ask Dr. Megan Dillman about pregnancy prevention options, such as NEXPLANON® — an implantable form of birth control.

Medicare exams are similar to annual physicals, with a stronger focus on prevention. During these visits, Dr. Megan Dillman may update your personalized health care plan. Although you don’t have to schedule an annual visit to maintain your Medicare benefits, Dr. Megan Dillman recommends taking advantage of these exams to check in on your health.

Dr. Megan Dillman recommends visiting Dillman Clinic and Lab for a comprehensive physical exam at least once a year to track your health and thwart early signs of disease. You may need to visit more frequently if you’re older or have an underlying medical condition.
