Preventive care · Schenectady, NY
The visits that prevent the visits.
Annual wellness, screenings calibrated to your age and history, lab work, and women's and men's health — coordinated as part of one continuous primary-care plan. Preventive care is the quiet work that keeps small concerns from becoming serious ones.
Overview
Health you can stay ahead of.
Most of the conditions that affect adults the most — heart disease, diabetes, several cancers — give early signals long before they cause symptoms. Preventive care is how those signals get noticed in time. A yearly wellness visit, the right screenings, and routine lab work together build a picture of your health that updates year after year.
Dr. Nosa Lebarty, MD tailors preventive care to you rather than to a generic checklist. Your age, family history, and personal risk factors decide which screenings make sense and when — so you are not over-tested, and nothing important is missed.
Because preventive care lives inside your primary-care relationship, every result lands in the same chart with the same physician. A borderline number this year becomes a trend to watch next year, and small changes get caught while they are still easy to address.

Common questions
Good to know.
How often should I have a wellness visit?
For most adults, once a year is the right rhythm. Dr. Lebarty may recommend a different schedule based on your health and risk factors.
Which screenings will I need?
That depends on your age, family history, and personal risk. Rather than running every test, Dr. Lebarty recommends the screenings that are appropriate for you and skips the ones that are not.
Is preventive care covered by insurance?
Most insurance plans cover annual wellness visits and recommended preventive screenings, often at no cost to you. The office can help you confirm what your plan includes.
Do you offer women's and men's health visits?
Yes. Preventive care includes dedicated women's health and men's health visits, with screenings and counseling tailored to each.
How is this different from primary care?
Preventive care is one part of primary care — the proactive, stay-ahead-of-problems part. It lives inside the same continuous relationship and the same chart with Dr. Lebarty.
