Still Have Questions? Give Us A Call What Sets Us Apart at WellMax There are two fundamental approaches to health care: Optimal Individualized Medicine at WellMax At WellMax we seek out the best, not the cheapest screening and treatments, to maximize wellness. It turns out that using the best is not expensive or time-consuming. We do not compromise when it comes to your health. Population-based Cost-effective Medicine Cost effective medicine requires saving money so second tier screening tests may be OK to detect more disease in the big population. This is a good strategy for minimizing cost per patient for the federal government or an HMO but it is not appropriate for you. Even at esteemed places like Mayo Clinic, Scripps, or UCLA, their executive physical programs apply population-based medicine.

Far higher resolution than chest X-ray and early cancer detection.

Some men discover new onset low levels of testosterone. Increased testosterone will increase muscle mass, bone density, libido, and sexual function Hormones are not included or tested routinely.  They claim they can do “if medically necessary.”  Screen For Plaque In The Coronary Arteries Coronary CT Angiogram directly visualizes calcified and soft plaque; detects narrowing in the arteries. Available is optional Cleerly, an artificial intelligence analysis to help identify and define atherosclerosis earlier. Exercise stress test and ECG: Unchanged for 50+ years.
