Overall, I am quite satisfied with the care I received. Ms. Robinson the NP made me feel confident in the diagnosis and the care I received. There was a little confusion at a point in my visit and she came back in to answer my questions. I wish I knew the names of the other people involved in my care because I would give a shout out to each of them. The check appointment process and check in was a breeze using the Solv website. When I arrived the woman at the desk greeted me and was very friendly. The staff member that brought me back and did my vital signs was also very friendly. When the same woman came in to draw my labs, she was very friendly and did a fantastic job. I didn't feel a thing and it was very quick. The woman who did my x-ray was friendly and professional. The process was fast, and I had the results back as quickly as they said they would have them which often isn't the case in modern healthcare. I could tell from the number of people who came and went during my visit, and I knew they were busy. I felt they did a great job of limiting wait times, providing care, and getting me back to work. I would highly recommend the Baptist Urgent Care on Cantrell Road to anyone who needs good care in a timely manner.

Amazing staff. I showed up when they were getting ready to leave, with a deep cut to the finger that needed stitching. They were very nice and considerate and reopened their triage and computers to get me checked in. Everyone was caring, friendly and efficient. It was a great experience.

Everyone was nice but the wait time is horrible. That’s why sick people don’t go to the doctor because they have to wait.

I was able to walk into the clinic and check in and fill out my paperwork and I was called back within a five minute wait. I was in and out in about 30 minutes total. The longest was waiting on my test to come back to see what I had. The nurse practitioner did a great job.

Went as a walk in and never been there before. Got checked in right away and was called to the back before I got the online stuff filled out completely. The weight, blood pressure, and questions etc were done right then. Less than 10 minutes till the PA came in and he was very thorough with his exam. X-ray and a nebulizer treatment next. Sent the scripts to the pharmacy(I got notification that it had been received by the pharmacy before I left the office), and got a steroid shot on my way out. All of the staff were very friendly and thorough with what they did with me. I’ll go back again and I’ll recommend them to anyone needing urgent care.

Recent Physical Exam Reviews (14)

It's a walk in clinic, and I sprained my ankle on Saturday, (walked in Monday). The receptionist saw that I hobbled in and immediately stood up and asked if I needed a wheelchair, and grabbed me one quite quickly. Then, we waited a whole, a bit boring and not the best. When we got in, they took me to an evaluation room, did a basic physical, etc. And the guy was so caring and gentle, he took everything into consideration, and then we went to the x-ray room. He was extremely helpful with assisting in the wheelchair, helping me get onto the table kindly, and being extremely gentle while twisting my ankle/legs the way they needed to be for the x-rays. He acted as if he'd tap it like a wine glass as if it would break under the slightest touch. Then, they wheeled me to my room and the wait wasnt bad at all, and the nurse/doctor I'm not sure which one, was amazing! I never got a sprain before and she explained it so well, answered the million questions I had, and was very friendly/patient. The doctor was a little rougher to get my boot on, but still a sweet older lady. I had a great experience.. let's hope it's not broken and just a sprain.

Disappointed- I came in for knee pain and didn’t even get physically accessed. Literally it was “yes it looks a little swollen and a slight pat pat on the top of the knee. Not once was range of motion or any of the basic knee assessments preformed. As a fellow NP I was sadly disappointed. That being said the nurse and the X-ray tech were crazy sweet and I loved the low risk check in with the friendly staff.

Over a 1 hour wait time. When we arrived we were told 10-30 minutes. I don’t feel like my child got a true sports physical. The only thing the apn checked was her lungs, eyes, ears and throat. Our last physical was much more in depth.

Super professional, yet friendly and inviting staff. Went on a SAT at *** am for a D.O.T. physical during Covid 19. Masks worn, sanitary procedures in place, never felt threatened. Glad I went here to get this done. Great job. Highly recommend!

Arkansas Physical Exams

As part of a doctor's routine checkup, a physical examination is usually performed. Learn more about what happens during a physical exam to better prepare for your next medical appointment.

Physical examination

A physical examination is when a healthcare professional examines and studies your body to see if you have a physical health problem. The four components of a physical examination, according to the National Library of Medicine, are inspection, palpation, auscultation, and percussion (NLM).

During the examination, your doctor looks over your body for any issues, such as skin flaws. Palpation is the technique of feeling your body with your fingers or hands, such as when a doctor feels for a tumor or mass, according to the National Library of Medicine.

Auscultation is a method of listening to sounds, such as your heartbeat, by your doctor. Making noises, such as tapping on various body parts, is referred to as percussion. This is usually done to determine the size and consistency of your organs, as well as the presence or absence of fluids in specific places, according to the National Library of Medicine.

The purpose of an annual physical exam

According to the National Library of Medicine, an annual physical exam can help you discover and avoid health problems you may not be aware of.

An annual physical exam is used to screen for diseases like cancer and to see whether you're at risk for certain health problems like diabetes. A yearly physical checkup, according to the National Library of Medicine, helps you to stay current on vaccines and other preventative health treatments, as well as make smart lifestyle choices that benefit your general health. Another benefit of having a yearly physical examination is that you can communicate with your doctor at any time if you develop an illness or chronic disease.

How to prepare for a physical examination

According to the National Library of Medicine, being prepared for your appointment will help you make the most of your time with your doctor and avoid unnecessary follow-ups.

First, review your family's medical history and be prepared to discuss any inherited health concerns, such as high blood pressure, cancer, or diabetes. Your doctor may use this information to assess if you're at risk for these same health problems, according to the National Library of Medicine.

Check with the National Library of Medicine to discover if any general exams or immunizations are required. If you're not sure, call your doctor ahead of time to make sure you're dressed appropriately or to make special arrangements if you need to undergo specialized tests.

Finally, the National Library of Medicine recommends making a list of issues and questions to bring up at your meeting. If you've been suffering any new or different symptoms, for example, write them down so your doctor can evaluate you for any linked health issues.

How a physical examination is performed

The manner in which your physical exam is conducted is primarily governed by your gender and age, according to the National Library of Medicine, due to differences in anatomy and health problems that impact different age groups.

Male examination

Males between the ages of 18 and 39 have their height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) measured at every consultation, according to the National Library of Medicine. Males in this age group may be asked about mental health issues including depression, as well as their food, exercise, and substance use habits. It is possible to assess your blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, and heart disease.

Males aged 40 to 64 receive the same services as men aged 18 to 39, including colorectal cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, and osteoporosis screenings, according to the National Library of Medicine. Men in their sixties and seventies may also be questioned about their medications and whether or not they have fallen recently.

Female examination

Females between the ages of 18 and 39 will have their height, weight, and BMI checked at each visit. Females should have their blood pressure checked every one to two years, according to the National Library of Medicine, and cervical cancer screenings should begin at the age of 21. Females in this age group may get diabetes and cholesterol screenings as part of their routine medical examination.

Women between the ages of 40 and 64 receive all of the same services as younger women, including lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and osteoporosis screenings, according to the National Library of Medicine. Routine mammograms may be performed on women over the age of 65, and they may be asked about any medications they are taking.

Lab tests

Your doctor may order lab tests to confirm or rule out one or more disorders based on the results of your physical exam. Lab tests may be utilized as part of evaluations for illnesses such as colorectal cancer and cervical cancer, according to the National Library of Medicine.

Call your doctor ahead of time to find out if you'll be getting blood tests and what they'll entail so you can make the necessary arrangements.

Following up after a physical examination

Following your physical examination, you may be called if one of your screens or lab tests comes back positive or inconclusive. Your doctor will contact you in such circumstances to discuss treatment choices or to recommend additional tests and screening. Your doctor can tell you more about what to expect in terms of follow-up after your physical exam.
