Dr. Carnai Simpson Discusses Preventive Primary Care and Recommended Screenings on Great Day Houston
Preventive
care is essential to long-term wellness, and during a recent appearance
on Great Day Houston, Dr. Carnai Simpson, a family medicine physician
at Modern Primary Healthcare, shared valuable insights on early
detection and the importance of regular health screenings.
“Our
goal is to emphasize preventive medicine,” said Dr. Simpson. “We
promote annual physical exams and emphasize preventive screenings.”
Dr.
Simpson encourages patients to begin annual physicals as early as age
18, helping to catch health issues early—before they become serious or
life-threatening.
Dr. Simpson outlined the following key screenings that every patient should be aware of:
● Cholesterol screening: Age 12–13
● Cervical cancer screening: Begin screening at age 21
● Mammogram: Begin screening at age 40
● Colonoscopy: Age 45
● Prostate cancer screening: Age 55
● Bone density screening: Age 65 or older
“Preventive screenings aren’t just for older adults,” Dr. Simpson mentioned. “We’re seeing conditions like Type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol show up earlier, so it’s important to be proactive.”
Team-Based Care with Modern Heart and Vascular
Dr.
Simpson highlighted how Modern Primary Healthcare works closely with
Modern Heart and Vascular Institute to provide a unified approach to
patient care.
“Modern Heart and Vascular is
doing preventive on their side—from the cardiology standpoint—and we’re
leading in that direction from the primary care side,” she explained.
“We work as a team together.”
This collaborative model ensures patients receive continuous, coordinated care across specialties—improving outcomes and addressing underlying conditions early.
Whether
you’re due for a physical or unsure which screenings are right for you,
Dr. Carnai Simpson and the Modern Primary Healthcare team are ready to
guide you through preventive care and help you stay on top of your
health.
