Full CT Body Scan

Too often the medical establishment focuses on treatment of a disease instead of stopping it in its early stages. We are encouraged by our insurance companies and the doctors they hold sway over to not go the doctor until something is seriously wrong.

We all know the people (and you may be one) who would not go to the doctor if they were bleeding out of their eyes. Often times this results in not missing a few days work here and there but then having to quit our jobs over huge medical issues because we didn't catch something in time.

People usually don't go to the doctor's office until symptoms of their problem have reached an unmanageable peak. This is when tests are run and you find out that you're in the late stages of something and that not much can be done.

Moreover, a lot of people really dislike the medical system in our country. We find ourselves dealing with overcrowded and mismanaged medical providers. On top of that once we submit our doctor's visits for insurance coverage our medical records are no longer private.

Yes, there are laws that keep the insurance companies from disclosing our information, but that doesn't mean that some of our most intimate details aren't kept in their records. These files can be subpoenaed, stolen or misused. What we do and discuss with our doctors should be completely private.

At Executive Medicine of Texas we understand these concerns. We know how the lives of busy professionals are and have developed a system of screening and medical visits that fill many of these holes.

Why Body Scans?

As part of our executive medical screening we will run a series of tests including a body scan. Using a comprehensive CT scan to look inside your body and organs we can get a better picture of any potential threats lurking inside of you.

We use the body scan to look for two of the biggest killers in this country; heart disease and lung cancer. Almost 85% of lung cancer tumors are only discovered by chest x-ray at a late stage where treatment is almost impossible. Likewise 93% of heart attack patients could have benefited from a CT scan to identify problems.

Executive Medicine

We understand the busy lives of professionals like you and have designed a medical practice that addresses your hectic life while also giving you the time and attention you need with a doctor.

By identifying potential problems with our tests, body scan and comprehensive physical exams we understand how to better address your medical issues before it is too late.

Insurance

We do not file your insurance paperwork. Some of the tests and visits done here may fall under what your insurance covers but it is up to you to file for that reimbursement. We have found that a large majority of our clients prefer to pay out of pocket.

This keeps their medical records completely confidential and doesn't involve a third party that might intentionally or unintentionally breach your privacy.
