At Coral Gables Executive Physicians in Coral Gables, Florida, Robert H. Thomas, MD, FACP is our board-certified internal medicine and primary care physician who leads our team in preventive care. We understand men’s health and we’re also aware of your possible discomfort level when it involves routine medical care. We want to put you at ease by giving you a few reasons to schedule regular or needed visits with us.
When you schedule a yearly appointment with us, we monitor your health and keep track of any changes. We can also detect any issues that could be threatening your health. For example, 1 in 9 men develop prostate cancer. Your yearly exam allows us to observe any signs that might require treatment, which provides a high survival rate.
At your yearly checkup, we also take a preventive approach to your health. We learn about your lifestyle routine and talk with you about any new changes to make that can help ward off sickness and disease and enhance the quality of your health.
Routine wellness screenings provide information about your numbers, which tell us information about the health of your body. We check your blood pressure for hypertension, your “good” and “bad” blood cholesterol levels for the health of your arteries, and your blood sugar to keep you free from health complications that you can get from Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.
If we identify any warning signs, you’re in good hands with our superior care and treatments.
Studies show that about 1 in 4 men lose their life to coronary heart disease.

When you schedule your appointment at Coral Gables Executive Physicians, you can feel comfortable talking to Dr. Thomas about any particular issues you might be having. We take the time to get to know you and understand your health concerns.
