SustainMD makes it easy to complete your annual wellness visit online. Dr. Allison Pope Barbee provides comprehensive virtual wellness exams so you can prioritize your health from home.
An annual wellness visit is a yearly checkup with your physician designed to review your overall health, screen for potential concerns, and create a plan to keep you feeling your best. Unlike sick visits or urgent care appointments, a wellness visit focuses on prevention.
During your visit, your physician reviews your medical history, current health status, medications, and lifestyle habits. Based on this information, personalized health goals and preventive strategies are outlined for the year ahead.
At SustainMD, your annual wellness visit is completed entirely online through a secure telehealth platform. Dr. Allison Pope Barbee conducts a thorough virtual exam that covers the same ground as an in-person visit — without the waiting room.
Your virtual wellness exam is structured to be comprehensive and efficient. Here is what your visit may include:
Medical History and Lifestyle Review
Dr. Barbee begins by reviewing your personal and family medical history, current medications, and any health concerns you want to discuss. Lifestyle factors such as diet, sleep, physical activity, and stress are also assessed.
Preventive Health Screenings Discussion
Based on your age, health history, and risk factors, Dr. Barbee will identify which preventive screenings are recommended for you this year. Lab orders can be sent to a location near you if needed.
Medication and Supplement Review
Your current medications, vitamins, and supplements are reviewed to ensure they remain appropriate, effective, and free from interactions.
Personalized Health Goals
Your visit concludes with a personalized plan for the coming year. This may include nutrition recommendations, activity goals, referrals to specialists, or follow-up scheduling.
Annual wellness visits are recommended for all adults, regardless of whether they feel healthy or have an existing condition. This visit is especially valuable for individuals who:
Your wellness visit is conducted personally by Dr. Allison Pope Barbee, MD, a board-certified family medicine physician with advanced training in obesity medicine and metabolic health. You receive primary care physician-level care — not a mid-level provider visit.
There is no need to drive to a clinic, sit in a waiting room, or rearrange your schedule. Your annual wellness visit happens on your terms, from wherever you are.
Dr. Barbee takes time to understand not just your physical health but also your lifestyle, goals, and concerns. This visit is a genuine health conversation — not a checkbox exercise.
