As part of The Local Take's ongoing conversation on men and health we speak with Dr. Niraj Nagada of Oakhurst Medicalabout men and their health. He recommends that all men begin having annual physicals at age 18 and shares with us what those exams should include for 20 - 39 year olds and for 40 - 64 year olds.
Dr. Nagada emphasizes that the best thing we can all do is know our bodies so that when things are amiss we recognize this and act accordingly. If you are more tired than usual or if your headache last longer than usual these are all reasons to seek out your primary care physician. He shares that you can't be embarrassed to seek out a doctor's help. This is why it is important to have a good relationship with your primary care physician.
I ask Dr. Nagada what drew him to a career in medicine and he explains that he grew up in Kenya where there was a lack of access for medical services. All the more reason why we should take advantage of medical provided in our communities. At Oakhurst Medical excellent healthcare is provided based on need.
