<p>Taking care of your health is in your own hands. Thus, it is important that you seek appropriate and timely care for your own wellbeing. Delaying your routine or urgent appointments can lead to long-term health implications and this may increase chances of complications, mental stress and prolonged treatment and recovery time. </p><div>Patients must also know that a timely diagnosis will have a positive impact on your treatment and recovery cycle. Regular health exams and screenings primarily help in identifying underlying health problems before they reach to a complicated stage. They also play an essential role in disease management in case of chronic medical conditions like Diabetes, Cancer or even Arthritis. </div><div>
