See your Dr.: Routine Blood Work is only a small part of the Annual Physical Screening. The most important part is the Physical Exam and discussion of current symptoms. These, together with the labs forms the basis for any kind of diagnosis. Without the Physical exam & symptoms, lab work is not very useful. Since a Complete Physical Exam cannot be done in Telemedicine, it will require you to see your Dr.
