Our goal is to keep you healthy and to prolong your life. Like most doctors, the Taylor-High Clinic Physicians keep abreast of the latest trends in disease detection, use of medication and other therapies, but your Personal Physician at the Taylor-High Clinic has the means to do adequate testing without the restrictions of a managed care insurance company's attempt to restrict access to technology. And, best of all, your Personal Physician has the luxury of time to communicate with you about your concerns and the Doctor's findings.

Comprehensive Physical Examination
Membership in the Taylor-High Clinic begins with a Comprehensive Physical Examination. Performed after a 14 hour fast, first your blood will be obtained for laboratory analysis in our state of the art on site facility. We'll test your vision, hearing, pulmonary and cardiac functions, and then you'll have an extensive interview with your personal physician. The Doctor will review your health history and your family's health experiences. He will review your medications and supplements, your health habits and goals for longevity and good health. A physical examination will be performed explaining specific risks to your health due to genetics, personal health habits, and actuarial statistics. At the end of your morning, a summary of findings will be presented and you'll receive a comprehensive explanation of all health issues in a report mailed to your home a few days later.

On Site Laboratory Testing
We have the same laboratory equipment as hospitals and reference laboratories in our office. Our Medical Technologists are on staff full time. Blood testing yields results for review with your Personal Physician and our full time Dietician while you're still in our office, and help motivate you and us to improve your health. Copies of reports and trends of successful interventions are provided easily.

Total Body Scanning
In our facility we have access to the latest in imaging technologies via North Atlanta Scan Associates. For members over 40 years old or who have specific risks to their health, we obtain a Total Body Scan during the Comprehensive Physical Examination. The scan provides insight to any formation of coronary artery atherosclerosis, the cause of heart attack and the number one cause of death for men and women. The coronary artery results are available to us before the Comprehensive Physical Examination is complete, and your Personal Physician uses the results to optimize the prevention of coronary artery disease. The scan also reports the condition of the lungs, liver, kidneys, and pelvic organs with remarkable clarity of images.

24/7 access to Physicians
Members in the Taylor-High Clinic become very familiar to their Personal Physician through the process of the Comprehensive Physical Examination. At the Clinic, we want to be easily accessible to our Members whenever a question about health arises. Members have our physicians' telephone numbers and email addresses. Also, while most health emergencies require the technology of laboratory and x-ray facilities, occasionally a home visit is the appropriate way to be reassured about an illness or accident. Our physicians understand the intricacies of the health care delivery system, emergency departments, hospitals, and insurance restrictions.

Personalized Health Prescriptions
Your Personal Physician, working with the dietician and the exercise physiologist, and based upon the information received from the Comprehensive Physical Examination, laboratory studies, and the Total Body Scan, will prescribe to you those therapies designed to prevent illness and to prolong your healthy life. Where necessary, medication will be proscribed, a diet to enhance health will be suggested, and exercises to establish conditioning and stamina and the relief of musculo-skeletal pains will be demonstrated.

Access to My Personal Physician
Our "My Personal Physician" patient internet service allows you to communicate with your physician by email through our secure server. Members will be provided access codes so they can read the latest in health care news and communicate with the Taylor-High Clinic concerning health questions, review of personal health stats, obtain services, and keep track of personal accounts.
