What Is Preventive Care?
From annual physicals and health screenings to vaccinations and chronic condition management, preventive care at TrueNorth Internal Medicine focuses on helping patients stay healthy rather than only responding to illnesses or injuries. Our preventive care services go beyond simple checkups by providing personalized support, lifestyle guidance, and advanced screenings, based on each patient's needs, offering a space where you can feel more empowered to make decisions about your health. Whether you have a specific concern you want to address or just want to feel more confident knowing your health is in good hands, we invite you to schedule a preventive care appointment at our Oswego, IL practice to learn how we can help.
How Does a Preventive Care Appointment Work?
Every preventive care appointment at TrueNorth Internal Medicine starts with a review of your health, including your medical history, changes you've experienced, current concerns, and risk factors that might affect your long-term wellness. From there, we'll assess vital signs (such as blood pressure and heart rate) and listen to the heart and lungs for any signs of problems. Depending on age, family history, and overall health, we may recommend blood testing, immunizations, or gender-specific cancer screenings to identify any developing issues as early as possible.
Once the screenings are done, we'll sit down with you to explain our findings and review your treatment options in clear terms. This may include prescription medication to manage ongoing concerns, lifestyle changes to help support your health between appointments, or referral to a specialist for more advanced issues. Each visit is custom-tailored to your specific needs and health goals, providing a personalized experience rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

TrueNorth Internal Medicine Reviews
Was able to make an appointment for that day and got in right away.
Was able to make an appointment for that day and got in right away.
Brand new office. Very clean and friendly staff. Was taken in right away after paperwork as a new patient. Listened to my issues and gave good recommendations. Highly recommended especially as a new patient that usually doesn't feel heard by other doctors
Dr. Makkar was very patient and kind. Highly impressed with the clinic!!!
I had an excellent experience with TrueNorth Internal Medicine. I was seen by Asha Mathew , APRN, and she was extremely professional, attentive, and compassionate. She took the time to listen carefully to my concerns and explained everything clearly. I never felt rushed, and I felt genuinely cared for throughout the visit. I highly recommend Jessica and the team at TrueNorth Internal Medicine!
