Doctor Health Check-up in South Shore, Montreal
A doctor health check-up at Clinique Revive is a thorough, age-appropriate assessment of your overall health — combining a detailed history, physical examination, age-and-sex-appropriate preventive screening recommendations, and a coordinated plan for any tests that follow. It is the right format when you want a comprehensive baseline, when you have not seen a doctor in years, or when you want a careful review of risk factors and preventive care rather than a focused visit on a single concern.
Full history and physical
Personal, family, lifestyle, and social history; followed by a head-to-toe physical examination.
Age- and sex-appropriate screening
The doctor recommends preventive screening (lipids, glucose, cancer screening, immunizations) based on your profile, not generic checklists.
Plan you leave with
Lab orders, imaging requisitions, follow-up timing, and lifestyle recommendations — all written down.
When a doctor health check-up is appropriate
Book a check-up if you have not had a comprehensive review in 1–3+ years, are starting a new chapter (new job, new relationship, planning pregnancy, post-retirement), have multiple risk factors you want addressed together (family history, lifestyle factors, several mild symptoms), or simply want a baseline. It is more thorough than a 20-minute comprehensive screening and more preventive-focused than a problem-focused visit.
It is not a substitute for sub-specialist evaluation if a specific issue needs deeper expertise; the doctor refers when warranted.
Preparation for a Doctor Health Check-up
Bring full medication list (with doses), supplements, family medical history (parents, siblings — what they have, at what age it started), past surgical and hospital history, immunization record, and any prior lab or imaging results from the past 2 years. If a fasting blood test is likely, ask at booking whether to arrive fasted (8–12 hours, water allowed).
Plan for a 30–45 minute visit. Wear easy-to-remove clothing for the physical exam.
What follows the check-up
You leave with a written plan — what was assessed, what tests were ordered, what was reassuring, what is being monitored, and when to follow up. Lab tests can often be drawn the same day; results return through Clinique Revive’s secure channel.
The doctor reviews abnormal or unexpected results with you in a follow-up visit. The check-up creates a baseline you can build on with annual or biennial reviews and visits for specific concerns in between.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same as an annual physical?
Yes, in spirit. Modern clinical practice has moved away from rigid annual physicals toward periodic comprehensive check-ups whose frequency depends on age and risk.
Most healthy adults benefit from one every 1–3 years.
Will the check-up include cancer screening?
The doctor will recommend age- and sex-appropriate screening — for example, cervical screening, mammography, colorectal screening, or low-dose lung CT for eligible smokers. Some are done same-visit; others are referred.
What if I’m in good health — do I really need this?
Periodic check-ups catch silent risk factors (high blood pressure, prediabetes, dyslipidemia) and ensure preventive screening is up to date. Many people who feel well have something modifiable that, if caught early, prevents future problems.
Is it covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on your specific private plan. Clinique Revive is a private clinic and provides receipts for insurance submission.
Public RAMQ does not cover services here.
