Prevention Is About More Than Checking a Box
A screening may only take a few minutes, but what it tells you can matter for years. Preventive medicine is about understanding your health before a concern becomes a bigger problem. Dr. Tasha looks beyond a standard checklist, considering your age, family history, lifestyle, existing conditions, medications, and health goals when recommending care.
Your health and specialized screenings in Colorado Springs may help identify concerns that don’t always cause noticeable symptoms, while other preventive care services monitor changes in vision, hearing, skin health, cognitive function, or cancer risk. Just as importantly, Dr. Tasha helps you understand your results and determine what comes next. The goal is simple: know where your health stands and stay proactive about it.
Preventive Care Services We Offer in Colorado Springs, CO
Our health screenings in Colorado Springs are designed to help identify potential concerns early and give you a clearer picture of your health. Here are the treatment facilities we offer you.
Diabetes Screening
Diabetes screening helps identify blood sugar concerns before they begin affecting your health. Dr. Tasha can assess your risk factors and symptoms, including increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, or numbness and tingling, and recommend appropriate testing when needed.
Vision Screening
Regular vision screening can help identify changes in your eyesight that may develop gradually with age. Dr. Tasha can perform a vision exam using the Snellen chart and recommend an eye care specialist for further evaluation when your results indicate additional care.
Hearing Tests
Hearing changes can happen gradually, making them easy to overlook until they begin affecting everyday conversations and activities. A hearing test can help identify potential changes early and determine whether additional evaluation, treatment, or hearing support may be appropriate.
Cholesterol Screening
Cholesterol screening provides important information about your heart and cardiovascular health, particularly as risk can change with age and other health factors. Dr. Tasha can review your results with you and recommend appropriate lifestyle changes, monitoring, or treatment when cholesterol levels need attention.
Skin Cancer Screening
Regular skin cancer screening gives Dr. Tasha an opportunity to examine moles, marks, and other changes on your skin. If an area appears concerning, she can determine whether further evaluation, monitoring, or a skin biopsy may be appropriate to better understand the change.
HIV Testing & PrEP
HIV testing and PrEP can help you make informed decisions about your sexual health and reduce HIV risk. Dr. Tasha can provide appropriate testing, discuss your individual risk factors, and determine whether pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) may be a suitable preventive option for you.
