Preventive & Diagnostic Screenings
at Lani City Medical
The best time to address a health problem is before it becomes serious, and the best way to catch problems early is through regular preventive & diagnostic screenings. At Lani City Medical, we provide comprehensive screening services that detect potential health issues when they are most treatable. Our Board Certified physicians at our Chino, Rialto, Rancho Cucamonga, and Riverside locations use on site laboratory and diagnostic capabilities to deliver fast, accurate results that inform your healthcare decisions.
The Value of Preventive & Diagnostic Screenings
Many serious health conditions develop silently, causing damage long before symptoms appear. Heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and other conditions can progress significantly before patients notice anything wrong. By the time symptoms emerge, treatment may be more difficult, more expensive, and less effective. Preventive & diagnostic screenings change this equation by identifying problems at their earliest, most treatable stages.
Regular screenings also establish baseline measurements of your health, making it easier to identify changes that might indicate developing problems. When your provider knows your normal cholesterol levels, blood pressure patterns, and other health markers, subtle shifts become more apparent. This longitudinal perspective enhances the value of preventive & diagnostic screenings over time.
At Lani City Medical, we believe that preventive & diagnostic screenings should be accessible, convenient, and affordable. Founded in 2019 by Dr. Lalwani and Dr. Khemlani, our practice was established to provide consistent, efficient, and honest healthcare where you are not just a number. Our screening services reflect this commitment, offering comprehensive testing with personalized attention to what results mean for your individual health.
Routine Bloodwork and Labs
Comprehensive Blood Testing
Blood tests provide windows into your body's internal functioning that no physical examination can match. A simple blood draw can reveal information about organ function, nutritional status, infection, inflammation, and disease risk. Our preventive & diagnostic screenings include comprehensive bloodwork that gives you and your provider valuable health insights.
- Routine bloodwork typically includes a complete blood count (CBC) that evaluates red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, providing information about anemia, infection, and blood disorders. Comprehensive metabolic panels assess kidney function, liver function, blood sugar, and electrolyte balance. These foundational tests in preventive & diagnostic screenings detect problems affecting multiple body systems.
- Our on site laboratory allows us to perform blood tests during your visit and provide results quickly, often the same day for routine tests. This capability makes preventive & diagnostic screenings more convenient, eliminating the need for separate laboratory visits and reducing the time between testing and results discussion.
Customized Testing Based on Your Needs
Beyond standard panels, preventive & diagnostic screenings may include additional tests based on your individual risk factors, symptoms, and health goals. We tailor testing recommendations to your specific situation rather than applying one size fits all approaches that may miss important information or include unnecessary tests.
- Factors influencing your screening recommendations include age, gender, family history, existing health conditions, medications, and lifestyle factors. A patient with family history of heart disease may benefit from more detailed cardiovascular testing. Someone experiencing fatigue might need evaluation of thyroid function, iron levels, and vitamin deficiencies. Our personalized approach to preventive & diagnostic screenings ensures you receive the right tests for your situation.
Cancer Screening and Early Detection
Life Saving Early Detection
Cancer screening saves lives by detecting malignancies at stages when treatment is most effective. Many cancers are highly curable when caught early but become much more difficult to treat once they spread. Our preventive & diagnostic screenings include cancer screening appropriate for your age, gender, and risk factors.
- Different cancers require different screening approaches. We help you understand which screenings are recommended for you based on established guidelines and your individual risk profile. This might include mammograms for breast cancer, colonoscopies for colorectal cancer, Pap smears for cervical cancer, PSA testing for prostate cancer, or skin examinations for skin cancer. Our preventive & diagnostic screenings ensure you stay current with recommended cancer detection.
- We also discuss warning signs that warrant prompt evaluation between scheduled screenings. Understanding what symptoms might indicate cancer allows you to seek care quickly if concerning changes develop. This combination of regular screening and symptom awareness maximizes your chances of early detection through preventive & diagnostic screenings.
Coordinating Specialized Screening
Some cancer screenings require specialized equipment or facilities beyond what primary care offices provide. Our preventive & diagnostic screenings services include coordinating referrals for mammograms, colonoscopies, CT scans, and other specialized tests. We help you understand what screenings are due, provide referrals to quality facilities, and review results when they return.
- We serve as your central coordinator for preventive & diagnostic screenings, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. When you have multiple providers or receive screenings at various facilities, results can become fragmented. Our role as your primary care provider includes tracking your screening history and ensuring appropriate follow up when results require attention.
Cholesterol, Thyroid, and Vitamin Testing
Cardiovascular Risk Assessment
High cholesterol contributes to plaque buildup in arteries, increasing heart attack and stroke risk. Because high cholesterol causes no symptoms until damage occurs, preventive & diagnostic screenings are essential for identifying this common risk factor. We provide comprehensive lipid testing that evaluates your cardiovascular risk.
- Our lipid panels measure total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol (often called bad cholesterol), HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol), and triglycerides. Each component provides different information about your cardiovascular risk. Preventive & diagnostic screenings that include detailed lipid analysis allow for targeted interventions that address your specific lipid abnormalities.
- When cholesterol levels indicate elevated risk, we discuss lifestyle modifications and, when appropriate, medications that can reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke. Our on site laboratory makes it easy to monitor cholesterol levels over time and assess how well treatment strategies are working.
Thyroid Function Evaluation
The thyroid gland regulates metabolism, energy production, and numerous body functions. When the thyroid produces too much or too little hormone, symptoms can affect virtually every aspect of health. Thyroid testing is an important component of preventive & diagnostic screenings that identifies these common but often overlooked conditions.
- Thyroid problems affect millions of Americans, with many cases undiagnosed because symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, and mood disturbances are attributed to other causes. Our preventive & diagnostic screenings include thyroid function tests that detect both overactive and underactive thyroid conditions. Early identification allows for treatment that restores normal function and resolves symptoms.
- We recommend thyroid screening based on symptoms, risk factors, and clinical judgment. Some patients benefit from routine thyroid monitoring, while others need testing only when symptoms suggest possible dysfunction. Our personalized approach to preventive & diagnostic screenings ensures appropriate testing without unnecessary expense.
Vitamin and Nutrient Assessment
Vitamin deficiencies can cause diverse symptoms including fatigue, weakness, mood changes, cognitive difficulties, and immune dysfunction. Many deficiencies develop gradually, with symptoms attributed to aging or stress rather than recognized as correctable nutritional problems. Our preventive & diagnostic screenings include vitamin and nutrient testing that identifies deficiencies affecting your health.
- Common deficiencies we screen for include vitamin D, vitamin B12, iron, and folate. Each deficiency produces characteristic symptoms and health consequences. For example, vitamin D deficiency affects bone health, immune function, and mood. B12 deficiency causes fatigue, neurological symptoms, and anemia. Identifying these deficiencies through preventive & diagnostic screenings allows for supplementation that restores optimal levels.
- Testing recommendations depend on your symptoms, diet, health conditions, and risk factors. Vegetarians and vegans have higher risk for certain deficiencies. Older adults absorb some nutrients less efficiently. Certain medications deplete specific vitamins. Our providers consider these factors when recommending preventive & diagnostic screenings for nutritional status.
STD Testing and Counseling
Confidential Sexual Health Screening
Sexually transmitted diseases remain significant public health concerns that affect individuals of all backgrounds. Many STDs cause no symptoms, meaning infected individuals can unknowingly spread infections to partners or experience complications from untreated disease. Our preventive & diagnostic screenings include confidential STD testing in a nonjudgmental environment.
- We provide testing for common STDs including chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, herpes, and hepatitis. Testing recommendations depend on your individual risk factors, symptoms, and concerns. Our providers discuss these factors sensitively and recommend appropriate preventive & diagnostic screenings based on your situation.
- When results are positive, we provide treatment, partner notification guidance, and counseling about preventing future infections. Many STDs are easily treatable, especially when caught early. Our comprehensive approach to preventive & diagnostic screenings ensures you receive complete care, not just test results.
Supportive Counseling and Education
- STD testing involves more than laboratory work. Our preventive & diagnostic screenings include counseling that helps you understand your risks, interpret results, and make informed decisions about sexual health. We provide this counseling without judgment, recognizing that sexual health is a normal part of overall wellness.
We discuss prevention strategies appropriate for your situation, answer questions about transmission and risk, and provide resources for ongoing sexual health. Most patients are in and out of our clinics in less than 60 minutes, receiving thorough attention for their preventive & diagnostic screenings needs efficiently.
EKGs and Cardiac Evaluations
Heart Health Assessment
Your heart is central to your health, and problems with cardiac function can have serious consequences. Electrocardiograms (EKGs) are valuable preventive & diagnostic screenings that evaluate heart rhythm and electrical activity, detecting abnormalities that may indicate heart disease or increased risk for cardiac events.
- EKGs are noninvasive, painless tests that take only minutes to perform. Our on site capabilities allow us to conduct EKGs during your visit and interpret results immediately. This efficient approach to preventive & diagnostic screenings provides rapid answers when cardiac concerns arise.
- EKGs may be recommended for patients with symptoms like chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, or dizziness that might indicate heart problems. They are also valuable as baseline measurements for patients with cardiovascular risk factors or before certain procedures or activities. Our providers determine when EKGs are appropriate as part of your preventive & diagnostic screenings.
Comprehensive Cardiovascular Evaluation
Beyond EKGs, cardiac evaluation may include blood pressure assessment, lipid testing, blood sugar measurement, and discussion of lifestyle factors affecting heart health. Our preventive & diagnostic screenings take a comprehensive approach to cardiovascular risk, considering multiple factors that influence heart disease development.
- When preventive & diagnostic screenings reveal concerning findings, we discuss what results mean and recommend appropriate next steps. Some patients need additional testing or specialist referral. Others benefit from lifestyle modifications or medications that reduce cardiovascular risk. Our role is to ensure you understand your heart health status and have a plan for protecting it.
