This depends on whether you have ongoing health concerns. If you have a chronic condition, you may need to see us more than for the typical yearly exam. You may also need a physical if you are experiencing sudden symptoms of an acute illness.
Keeping Track of Your Health
Whether you are coming in for your yearly physical or need a checkup when you are not feeling well, SoHo Health NY has you covered.
The SoHo Health Method
Consultation
If this is your first visit with us, you can sit down with one of our providers and go through your health history. Then, you can discuss what health goals you may want to set.
Treatment
Your physical may be a regular exam or a more extensive look into the symptoms you have told us about. Either way, we will walk you through each step.
Follow-Up
After you have finished your physical, we will take steps to stay in touch with a follow up telemedicine visit. We go over your results to make sure you are still feeling healthy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Physicals for both new and established patients take 30 minutes on average. We might discover that you need further exams for any symptoms you are experiencing. If that happens, you may need to stay longer or we will schedule a follow-up appointment.
Everyone 18 years old and up can visit us for a physical. We also offer the convenience of telemedicine services for follow-up after your physical. Even those who prefer to stay home can do their routine exams in comfort.
Outside Referrals
Most physicals may reveal common conditions such as hypertension or high cholesterol, which our practice can manage. Even more chronic concerns like diabetes are treatable by our skilled team. However, sometimes your symptoms may require a specialist’s opinion before we can begin working with you to care for them.
For example, you may be experiencing an increase in skin blemishes that a dermatologist can expertly diagnose. Maybe you have been feeling chest pain recently and we believe a cardiologist’s assistance is necessary. There are many reasons why we may refer you to other practices. Rest assured, we will always make sure that you get the care you need from the most qualified providers available.
Telemedicine at a Glance
It is no secret that the world of online health has exploded since the start of the global pandemic a few years back. While some practices have returned to offering only in-person consultations and physical exams in SoHo, our team remains committed to giving you support through our telehealth services. In fact, our extended contact after your office visits will usually take place over the web.
If you have some concerns about your health but do not feel like you need to visit our practice for a face-to-face appointment, we can set up a digital meeting. With a quick video call, we can answer any questions you have and even see whether we recommend an in-person follow-up, just to be safe.
Insurance & Financing
Most people either have traditional insurance coverage or one of the plans available through the NYS Health Benefit Exchange (HIX). At SoHo Health NY, we accept both! This is our way of ensuring that we can provide top-notch care to as many people as possible. If you are worried your plan may not cover your physical exams in SoHo, let us know and we can discuss that during your first consultation with us.
Beyond insurance, we have financing options for those who are not eligible for coverage or reimbursement for their treatments. We will never surprise you with big bills you cannot pay, and we work to make sure our payment plans fit your schedule and budget.

At our practice, we believe you should be, look, and feel healthy. From routine physicals to pre-travel medicine to even aesthetic treatments, we strive to offer you whatever services you need. When you need compassionate healthcare, turn to SoHo Health NY for a team that will always work to put you first.
