A total abdominal ultrasound takes non-invasive (painless) images of your liver, intestines, kidneys, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, bladder, blood vessels, and appendix with sound waves (ultrasound). This exam is used to diagnose, detect, monitor, and manage disease, tumors, enlargement, and other abnormalities on and around the aforementioned organs without needles, shots, or surgical incisions.

A chest CT is used to diagnose, detect, monitor, and manage tumors, fluid around the lungs, and abnormal breathing conditions, like emphysema and COPD. This exam is exceptionally important not only for current or former smokers and vapers, but also for those who experience or have a history of chest pain or breathing problems.

A cardio stress test involves walking/slight running on a treadmill at different speeds while attached to an ECG/EKG machine to monitor breathing difficulty and blood pressure. This exam is used to determine overall heart health, individual levels of safe physical activity, coronary artery disease, heart rhythm abnormalities, and risk of heart attack.

This exam uses high-frequency ultrasound to view the carotid and vertebral arteries, both of which supply blood to the brain, located on either side of the neck to detect blockages or stenosis. Those who have a history or an increased risk of stroke, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and/or coronary artery disease, will benefit from this exam.

Comprehensive blood work measures specific liver and kidney functions, blood glucose levels, vitamin, mineral, and electrolyte levels, blood count, and the body's fluid balance. Having comprehensive blood work drawn enables diagnostic detection of cancer, anemia, leukemia, diabetes, and other illnesses, and provides a baseline knowledge of your overall health for comparison over time. Your comprehensive blood panel will contain a: (1) complete blood count with differential [RBC, hemoglobin, hemocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC, serum iron, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), WBC/leukocyte, band forms, total neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, platelets, ferritin, folic acid (folates), vitamin B12, serum albumin]; (2) metabolic profile [glucose, glycated hemoglobin, urea, creatinine, uric acid, vitamin D, total and fractional protein, total and fractional bilirubin]; (3) lipid profile [total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, VLDL, triglycerides]; (4) enzyme profile [SGOT/AST, SGPT/ALT, GGT, ALP]; (5) electrolyte profile [potassium, sodium, calcium, chloride]; (6) hepatitis markers [Anti-HAV IgG, HBsAG, Anti-HBsAG, Anti-HCV]; (7) thyroid function hormone markers [Free T4/FT4, TSH]; (8) heart and stroke markers [homocysteine; lipoprotein A]; (9) sex-specific hormone markers [males: total and free PSA, total and free testosterone] OR [females: CA-125, estradiol, total and free testosterone, FSH].

Urinalysis is used to detect and manage numerous disorders, such as urinary tract infections, diabetes, and kidney disease, among others. Your urinalysis will contain a: (1) chemical analysis [color, clarity, specific gravity, pH, bilirubin, urobilinogen, protein glucose, ketones, blood, leukocytes, nitrite, ascorbic acid]; (2) microscopic analysis [epithelial cells, WBC, RBC, Mucus filaments, bacteria].

The fecal occult blood test (FOBT) is used to detect hidden (microscopic/occult) blood in the stool, which may indicate the presence of colon cancer or polyps in the colon or rectum. Immunochromatography is used to rate a FOBT as positive or negative.

An EKG/ECG (electrocardiogram) measures the electrical signals of your heart. This exam can detect irregular heartbeats, blocked arteries, and other (serious) heart conditions.

This exam uses low-dose x-rays to provide early detection and diagnosis of breast diseases in women.

This exam uses ultrasound imagery to assist in the detection of prostate abnormalities, cancer, some male fertility problems, difficult/painful urination, or other prostate-related conditions.

A coronary CT angiogram is a diagnostic exam that takes images of your heart and the vessels and arteries that supply blood to it. Unlike a traditional coronary angiogram, this exam does NOT require an invasive catheter. Therefore, this exam is a painless alternative to better understanding your risk of coronary artery disease.

A magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is an MRI of the arteries and veins used to detect whether the vessels transporting blood between the neck and the brain are healthy or diseased. An MRA is particularly valuable in screening for atherosclerosis, brain aneurysm, and vascular malformations known to cause some types of headaches and seizures.

As a ZELLA client, you automatically gain access to numerous amenities and concierge services not available to the public.

During the routine physical exam, your doctor will check your vitals, including weight, blood pressure, and heart rate. Additionally, your doctor will assess your motor functions, reflexes, and physical signs of any abnormalities.

Your doctor will give you both hardcopy and digital versions of all of your test results and images. All results will be in English. With all of your radiological images and exam results at your disposal, you are free to share them with any of your health care providers and specialists back home.

Every person receives at least a scheduled hour-long consultation with a doctor to discuss their test results and ongoing treatment plans in English.
