Preventive Health Screenings in Lansdowne & Reston

Preventive Health Screenings — Find It Early, When It’s Still Fixable

Age-appropriate screenings, risk assessments, and early detection for adults at our Lansdowne and Reston locations.

The most powerful thing medicine can do is find a problem before it becomes a crisis. A cancer caught at Stage 1. A blood pressure trend corrected before it causes a stroke. A prediabetes diagnosis reversed before it becomes Type 2. Preventive screenings are not a formality — they are the highest-value appointment you can make for your long-term health.

At VPMC, preventive screening isn’t a checkbox on your annual physical. It’s a deliberate, personalized process built around your age, your gender, your family history, and your individual risk profile. Our team doesn’t apply a one-size-fits-all screening schedule — we evaluate what YOU need, when you need it, and why it matters for your specific situation.

Our preventive screening services include cancer screenings — Pap smears, PSA testing, colonoscopy referrals (recommended starting at age 45), skin cancer assessments, and mammogram coordination. We assess cardiovascular risk through lipid panels, blood pressure monitoring, in-office EKG, and inflammatory markers. We screen for diabetes and prediabetes, thyroid dysfunction, osteoporosis, vitamin deficiencies, and sexually transmitted infections. Every wellness visit includes mental health screening for depression and anxiety — because your psychological health is as measurable, and as treatable, as your physical health.

When a screening flags something, you’re not left waiting for a referral and a stranger’s appointment. Your VPMC provider reviews your results with you directly, explains what they mean in plain language, and builds the next steps into your care plan immediately.
