Preventive Care That Goes
Beyond the Checkup
Physician-led annual physicals, health screenings, and personalized preventive medicine from a board-certified internal medicine physician in Glendale, CA.
A Different Kind of Primary Care
Preventive medicine that
actually prevents things
Most annual physicals are rushed 15-minute visits that check boxes and move on. At Los Angeles Primary Care in Glendale, preventive care means something different. Sera Ramadan, D.O. takes the time to understand your full health picture, identify risks before they become diagnoses, and build a plan tailored to you.
That means thorough lab work, age-appropriate screenings, a real conversation about your health goals, and a physician who remembers your name and your history at every visit. This is primary care the way it should be.
What to Expect
What happens at your
preventive care visit
Thorough Intake
A focused conversation covering your medical history, family history, cancer prevention screenings, and immunizations. Sera Ramadan, D.O. is passionate about preventive medicine and committed to staying current with the most advanced screening guidelines. At LAPC, we cut through the noise of direct-to-consumer health trends and help you determine exactly which tests and referrals are right for your individual case.
Individualized Lab Work
Labs are tailored to your specific health history, not a standard checklist. We guide you through which tests are indicated based on your age, risk profile, and insurance coverage, and are happy to order additional testing outside of insurance when clinically warranted. For those seeking a deeper view into their health, we recommend exploring our Wellness or Executive Physical options.
Screening Coordination
We identify which cancer screenings, imaging studies, and specialist referrals are appropriate for you and help you navigate getting them done in the Glendale and greater LA area.
Your Prevention Plan
You leave with a clear, personalized plan covering nutrition guidance, lifestyle recommendations, follow-up labs, and upcoming screenings. Prevention is ongoing, and we stay engaged with your health between visits.
Preventive Services
Comprehensive preventive care
under one roof
From routine wellness visits to advanced metabolic screening, our Glendale clinic offers the preventive services that patients in the LA area are searching for most.
Annual Physical & Wellness Exam
A comprehensive head-to-toe physical examination with updated vital signs, review of current medications, and a discussion of any new health concerns. Designed to give you a clear picture of where your health stands today.
Heart Health & Cardiovascular Screening
Cholesterol, blood pressure, ApoB, Lp(a), and advanced lipid panels to assess your real cardiovascular risk. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the US and many risk factors are silent without targeted screening.
Diabetes & Prediabetes Screening
Comprehensive blood sugar evaluation including fasting glucose, HbA1c, and on-site oral glucose tolerance testing when indicated. For patients seeking lifestyle support, we have an established referral network including dietitians and an on-site exercise physiologist. Continuous glucose monitoring and fingerstick devices are available to provide a complete metabolic picture.
Cancer Screening & Referrals
We follow current USPSTF and specialty society guidelines for colon, breast, cervical, lung, and skin cancer screening. Pap smears are performed on-site, and stool-based colorectal cancer screening cards are available in-office. We coordinate referrals for colonoscopy, mammography, and low-dose CT lung screening as appropriate.
Thyroid & Hormonal Evaluation
We evaluate for thyroid disorders, PCOS / PMOS, perimenopause, and male hypogonadism or low testosterone when clinically appropriate based on your individualized symptoms.
Vaccines & Immunization Review
Adult immunization needs are often overlooked after childhood. We review your vaccination history and administer recommended vaccines including flu, COVID-19, shingles, pneumonia, Tdap, and hepatitis B based on age and risk.
Chronic Disease Management
Conditions we prevent,
screen for, and manage
Preventive care is not just about staying well today. It is about catching and managing the conditions that quietly develop over years before they cause serious harm.
Hypertension
High blood pressure affects nearly half of American adults and is called the silent killer for a reason. We diagnose, monitor, and manage hypertension with a treatment-first philosophy rooted in lifestyle changes and medication when needed.
Type 2 Diabetes & Prediabetes
We screen early, interpret results thoroughly, and intervene before a diagnosis becomes inevitable. For patients already managing diabetes, we provide ongoing monitoring, medication management, and complication prevention.
High Cholesterol & Hyperlipidemia
Standard lipid panels often miss the full picture. We look at advanced markers including ApoB and Lp(a) to give you an accurate assessment of cardiovascular risk and personalize treatment accordingly.
Thyroid Disease
Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are among the most under-diagnosed conditions in adults. Symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, and brain fog are often dismissed. We test comprehensively and treat based on the full clinical picture.
Asthma & Respiratory Health
Ongoing management of asthma and other chronic respiratory conditions, with a focus on minimizing flares, optimizing inhaler use, and reducing triggers, especially relevant for patients in the greater Los Angeles air quality environment.
Mental Health Integration
Physical and mental health are inseparable. We screen for anxiety and depression as part of routine preventive visits and provide coordinated care or referrals when additional support is needed.
