Why is Preventive Medicine Important?
Preventive medicine is your investment in your future. Many diseases have a different prognosis depending on the stage of detection. Conditions diagnosed later, in a more advanced stages, typically have quite different outcomes in terms of treatment, survival, and quality of life as compare to the ones diagnosed much earlier. Being proactive and emphasizing screening/prevention BEFORE significant problems appear on the horizon is an amazing investment in your health and a contributor to active golden years.
As a physician with 20 years of experience, Dr. Levandovsky understands that your needs in preventive care change from year-to-year as your health-needs evolve. It’s important to realize that your essential needs always stay the same: a thorough wellness exam every year, screening tests based on your age, family history and other risk factor assessments… and last but not least, as your personal physician, a life-long partner in health who knows you and your needs.
“In the past, I’ve always felt rushed with my doctors who were eager to treat symptoms, I’ve never before had someone sit-down with me for 2 hours and actually talk about my whole health”

MRI of the abdomen — a safe and painless procedure to look at the health of your internal organs.
Advanced bloodwork panel — an advanced bloodwork panel including over 30 different parameters.
EKG (electric picture and patterns of the heart)
Oxygen saturation levels
Additional Available Screening
In-Depth Primary Care
Cardiac stress test—In a stress test, a patient walks on a treadmill that makes their heart work progressively harder. An electrocardiogram (ECG) monitors patient’s heart's electrical rhythms. The doctor also measures blood pressure and monitors whether a patient has symptoms like chest discomfort or fatigue. Abnormalities in blood pressure, heart rate, or ECG or worsening physical symptoms could point to coronary artery disease (CAD): fatty deposits (plaques) that reduce the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle.
Colonoscopy— is a procedure that is used to look for cancer of the colon (bowel cancer) or colon polyps, which are growths on the lining of the colon that can sometimes be cancerous or may grow to be cancerous.
Upper and/or Capsule Endoscopy— is a procedure used to visually examine your upper digestive system with a tiny camera on the end of a long, flexible tube or a special bullet-like camera. A specialist in diseases of the digestive system (gastroenterologist) uses an endoscopy to diagnose and, sometimes, treat conditions that affect the esophagus, stomach and beginning of the small intestine (duodenum).
Bone density test— a non-invasive test that measures bone mineral density to assess the risk of fracture or osteoporosis and bone strength.
Audiometry— a painless, noninvasive hearing test that measures a person's ability to hear different sounds, pitches, or frequencies.
Functional Testing and Imaging
Functional Brain Scan—allows the clinician to combine brain measurements with standard assessments. Gives a snapshot of the brain function to track attention, memory and cognitive function to track brain performance. Provides information about a patient’s emotional state. Serial testing is promising to be an extremely useful tool to gauge patients’ risk and predisposition to developing dementia and neurocognitive decline. As the brain declines with age, trauma, depression and other conditions, our brain scan helps a patient see how they compare to the average in the same age category.
Microbiome testing— looks at the entire bacterial, fungal, and viral composition in your gut. Since about 80% of our immune system resides in our gut, optimal health requires us to have a healthy digestive system. The microbiome test allows to identify bacteria, viruses, and yeast microorganisms residing in your gut that can be responsible for bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation as well as celiac and “IBS” problems. Gives your physician the necessary information to develop a personalized diet and probiotic regimen to improve inflammation, gastrointestinal symptoms, energy levels and your immune system.
Food sensitivity testing— Identifies foods and food-chemical sensitivities that can contribute to the overall inflammation and play a role in gastrointestinal, neurological, dermatological issues as well as mood/general wellbeing.
Comprehensive Imaging
3D Mammogram and Ultrasound of the Breast— a more advanced version of a traditional mammogram that creates more detailed, refined images with targeted ultrasound examination of potentially concerning areas
Breast MRI— a non-invasive, radiation-free imaging procedure, designed to detect early changes in the breast tissue, with over 90% sensitivity for early breast cancer detection.
CT of the Lungs— a non-invasive form of imaging, uses a specialized form of X-ray, coupled with computer technology, to produce cross-sectional images (slices) of soft tissue, organs, bone and blood vessels in any area of the body. CT lung cancer screening has revolutionized medical imaging by providing more detailed information than conventional X-rays, improving lung cancer diagnostics
MRI of the Ovaries/Uterus or Prostate—a non-invasive and painless form of imaging that helps create detailed cross-sectional images of pelvic organs and internals structures without the use of potentially harmful ionizing radiation.
MRI of the Abdomen and Pelvis — a non-invasive and painless form of imaging that helps create detailed cross-sectional images of the organs and internals structures without the use of potentially harmful ionizing radiation.
Genetic and Molecular Testing
Genetic testing— extensive analysis of the 80+ genes associated or linked to cancer and other critical illness
HPV oral screening— a new painless type of test that helps to establish presence of HPV virus in the saliva which may increase one’s risk for oral cancer
Cancer liquid biopsy—A test done on a sample of blood to look for cancer cells or tumor DNA that maybe circulating in the blood; if detected, these pieces of tumor DNA can further predict cancer’s site of origin for further testing and evaluation. This way a liquid biopsy may be used to help detect cancer at a very early stage.
Urine biopsy— a relatively new screening modality that is successful in screening for prostate cancer by using a urine sample.
Complete genome sequencing—this is the most comprehensive picture of your entire genetic code, that includes an analysis of 22,000+ expressed genes (exome), with an advanced profiling of over 1000 genes associated with cancer predisposition, genes related to cardiovascular, autoimmune and neurological conditions. This test may be of additional help for patients with atypical, difficult-to-diagnose symptoms, by focusing our attention on your top genetic/molecular predispositions.
