Walter Gaman, M.D., and Mark Anderson, M.D., had successfully practiced family medicine in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex for decades when they realized that they could provide a higher service to their patients if they could work in an environment dedicated to prevention and wellness—an environment that would allow them the luxury of spending as much time as needed to thoroughly assess, treat and advise each person with the same care they would a family member.
Together, they founded Executive Medicine of Southlake to help people take control of their health through comprehensive physical assessments, early detection using the most advanced diagnostic and screening tests available, advanced preventative care and wellness coaching personalized to each individual's needs.
Today, Executive Medicine of Southlake is recognized as a premier health and wellness assessment center that attracts executives, professional athletes and others from all over the world. Dr. Gaman and Dr. Anderson have achieved their goal by staying well ahead of common medical practices to offer superior physical assessments based on the newest advancements in medical science combined with the best of traditional medical practices to establish strong relationships with their clients built on trust, concern, care and comfort.
"Our objective is to empower people to improve their health by providing them with a clear understanding of their current physical condition and risk factors for health problems—including daily stressors—so that they can adopt a lifestyle conducive to optimizing their chances for a longer, healthier life," said Dr. Gaman. "Based on our initial physical assessment, we develop a personalized health and wellness program that incorporates prevention, early detection, treatment and guidance based on each person's current state of health and fitness."
Executive Medicine of Southlake takes a comprehensive approach to its health care options for individuals and corporate clients, providing three executive-level physical exam packages designed to fit the needs of both men and women conducted in a half-day at the Executive Medicine facility in Southlake, Texas. Among its onsite diagnostic and screening capabilities are the Thallium Stress Test, the gold standard test for early detection of heart disease; Virtual Colonoscopy, a highly accurate screening for colon cancer without sedation; the Biophysical250, the most comprehensive biochemical snapshot of one's current state of health; hormone deficiency testing; and CT scans of the abdomen, pelvis, chest, and coronary arteries with calcium scoring.
Physical exams are conducted in warm, old-world atmosphere designed for patient comfort. All levels of exams include complete lifestyle, fitness and nutritional assessments, including Genetic Nutritional Analysis and a recommendation of supplements. The Stay Young Program helps clients stay on track with their new health program through quarterly health and fitness evaluations. En-suite therapeutic relaxation massage therapy is available for those particularly stressful days. For out-of-town clients, Executive Medicine will make hotel reservations and provide complimentary limo service between the airport, hotel and its facility.
Executive Medicine clients see the same physician at each visit to ensure continuity of care, and can elect to name Dr. Gaman or Dr. Anderson their primary physician for all health and medical concerns. And unlike most medical practices, the Executive Medicine physicians are personally available to their clients by phone 24/7 under the Platinum Physical Exam Package. When a client's condition requires consultation with a medical specialist, the Executive Medicine physicians and can often arrange appointments with the finest regional specialists the same day.
