Preventive Care to Keep You Healthy and Thriving
in Phoenix, Arizona
At Pineapple Health in Phoenix, AZ, we believe that prevention is the best medicine. Regular check-ups with a primary care physician are essential in ensuring that you remain healthy and proactive in managing your health. Our preventive care services are designed to identify potential issues early, before they become serious problems. By focusing on your overall health, we can help you prevent chronic conditions and illnesses, leading to a longer, healthier life.

What is Preventive Care?
Preventive healthcare, or preventive medicine, focuses on taking proactive measures to ensure that you stay free from physical and mental health issues that may be influenced by genetics, lifestyle, or environmental factors. These check-ups aim to detect early signs of disease and address them before they escalate.
In the U.S., millions of people suffer from preventable conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Our mission at Pineapple Health is to arm you with the knowledge and resources to prevent these illnesses from affecting your life. Even if you feel healthy, regular visits to your primary care physician can make a significant difference in maintaining long-term wellness.
Why Are Preventive Health Exams Important?
Preventive exams are crucial for people of all ages, even if you're not experiencing any symptoms. Many conditions, like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes, can develop silently over time and often go unnoticed until they cause serious harm.
By scheduling routine check-ups with your primary care physician, you are investing in your long-term health. These visits not only help detect early signs of illness but also ensure that you are up-to-date on vaccinations, screenings, and lifestyle improvements to maintain a healthier lifestyle.
What to Expect During Your Preventive Exam
During your preventive care exam, your healthcare provider will assess your overall health and well-being. This includes a comprehensive physical exam, lab work, and screenings tailored to your age, gender, and medical history. At Pineapple Health, we go above and beyond the standard preventive exam by offering personalized recommendations for lifestyle changes, diet, and wellness practices that promote better health.
Some of the key services included in a preventive care visit may include:
- Comprehensive health screenings
- Blood pressure check
- Cholesterol and blood sugar testing
- Immunizations and vaccinations
- Cancer screenings (such as mammograms, Pap smears, or colonoscopies)
- Nutrition and wellness counseling
- Chronic disease management
Take Control of Your Health with Preventive Care.
By taking a proactive approach to your health, you can reduce the risk of serious diseases and enjoy a higher quality of life. Early detection is key to managing health issues before they become more complex or costly to treat. At Pineapple Health, we are here to support you with holistic and integrative care that focuses on the prevention of disease rather than just treatment.

FAQs
What is the theme of Pineapple Health?
In addition to routine primary care services, Pineapple Health focuses on all things anti-inflammatory including cardiometabolic preventive care, cholesterol management, and allergy treatments. (Environmental testing is now included as part of our comprehensive physical.)
What is the professional background of Dr. Chan?
Dr. Chan is a board-certified family physician who had completed advanced preventive medicine training. In particular, Dr. Chan is a Lipidologist (lipid- and cholesterol-related disorders specialist) of which there are only a few in the state of AZ. Among other credentials, Dr. Chan anticipates becoming the first in AZ to achieve simultaneous board certification status in both Integrative Medicine and Lipidology, thus creating the field of Integrative Lipidology.
Does Dr. Chan practice holistic medicine?
As an integrative physician, Dr. Chan does practice holistically. Due to the nature of insurance-based medicine, Dr. Chan only provides basic integrative holistic medical services. Once again, for those who aspire comprehensive integrative care, Dr. Chan recommends joining his Integrative Age Management Medicine practice at Rejenesis. Procedures such as medical acupuncture and intravenous nutrition are not routinely covered by most insurance plans in AZ and are therefore only offered at Rejenesis.
How long is your average wait time, and how much time do you spend with patients?
As a medical practice that focuses on quality, in general our wait time and time spent with patients score better than the national average of 45-minutes wait and 8-minutes visit.
Would my insurance premium be affected if my insurance does pay for those preventive services?
Those companies that pay generally suggest that they are in favor of preventive care. In fact, there is a trend that insurance companies may reward patients as they engage in healthier behavior by becoming more proactive in prevention.
May I address medical issues during the physical?
Certainly. Many patients do choose to combine their physicals with other medical concerns such as prescription refills and/or acute care needs. Besides what are being offered during the physical, any additional problems identified and/or addressed will be billed accordingly.
What about other tests, services, procedures, therapies and medications that I would like to get but are not covered by my insurance plan?
Despite the fact that more insurance companies are embracing a preventive and holistic approach to healthcare, many still consider certain requested items as medically unnecessary or experimental, and thus they will become your responsibility.
Can I just call the office and have you order my labs, review my lab results, refill medications, and even just treat me over the phone?
Even though telemedicine may one day become the standard of care, current medical practice still require you to be seen at the office so we may appropriately bill your insurance.
Why do you have a general 6-month follow-up policy?
Most medications have side effects; many of which require regular laboratory follow-ups, and we do believe that monitoring our patients at least every 6 months would constitute good continuity of care.
How may I gain access to my medical records online?
Although certain EHR companies are granting patients some access to their records, this has not yet been a widely adopted practice in the industry. At this time, we will be glad to provide you with copies of your records upon request.
What is your consent policies?
In AZ, general consent is generally considered to be given when you schedule your appointment. Specific consent is only required when the procedure to be performed is not routine and has specific non-routine risks or potentially harmful side effects.
Who should I contact regarding general billing issues?
Please contact (602) 424-7967 (local) or (877) 845-2969 (long distance) for all billing issues.
How do you handle my complaints?
In general, positive and constructive feedback are helpful and are always welcome; however, negative and destructive comments that are in direct conflict with our Office Policies and/or Financial Policies simply suggest that our practice may not be the right one for you
