At Rocky Mount Family Medical, your privacy is our top priority. All services provided at our practice are strictly confidential. This means that any information you share with our healthcare team—including your medical history, test results, and details of your visits—is safeguarded under strict privacy laws and medical ethics.

We adhere to all federal and state regulations, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), to ensure your personal health information remains secure. Your information will only be shared with your consent or when legally required.

Our patients can feel comfortable discussing any health concerns openly, knowing that their privacy and confidentiality will always be respected.

We believe that preventive care is essential to maintaining your long-term health. Screening tests are an important part of this approach, as they help us identify potential health issues early—often before symptoms appear. However, it’s important to remember that if a screening test indicates a potential problem, it does not necessarily mean you have a disease or a serious medical condition. Instead, an abnormal or suspicious result simply means you may be at higher risk, or that further investigation is needed to better understand your health status.

If a screening result comes back abnormal, your healthcare provider will review the results with you in detail. We may recommend additional tests or procedures—such as more specific laboratory work, imaging studies, a biopsy, or a thorough physical examination—depending on the nature of the initial screening and the condition being evaluated.

Screening tests are designed to catch possible health concerns early, but sometimes they yield false positives, suggesting a problem when none actually exists. That’s why confirmatory testing is so important. Our providers will also consider your personal and family medical history, as well as any risk factors you may have, to help determine the most appropriate next steps.

If further testing confirms a health issue, your provider will work closely with you to discuss your diagnosis and create a personalized treatment or management plan. If follow-up tests show no evidence of disease, we’ll recommend returning to routine screenings at the usual intervals.

To help us provide you with the best possible care, please bring the following items to your first appointment:

● Photo Identification: Bring a valid form of ID, such as a driver’s license or other government-issued identification.

● Health Insurance Card: Please have your current health insurance card available for verification and billing purposes.

● Referral Paperwork: If another provider has referred you, bring any referral forms or authorization documents.

● Medication List: Prepare a list of all medications you are currently taking, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and supplements. Please include the names, dosages, and how often you take each one.

Being prepared with this information will help our team ensure your appointment goes smoothly and that we can address all your healthcare needs efficiently. We look forward to seeing you and providing you with quality, compassionate care!

At Rocky Mount Family Medical, we believe that preventive care is the foundation of lifelong health. The recommended age for men to begin routine health screenings can vary depending on individual risk factors and family history. However, general guidelines suggest that men should start scheduling regular check-ups with a healthcare provider in their late teens to early twenties.

Most significant health screenings typically begin around age 40. At this stage, we encourage our male patients to have their blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar checked regularly to monitor for cardiovascular risks and diabetes. We also recommend discussing prostate cancer screening around age 50, or earlier if you have a family history or specific risk factors.

Colorectal cancer screenings are now advised to begin at age 45 for men at average risk, according to updated guidelines. Our providers will work with you to determine the best screening schedule based on your personal and family medical history.
