Is PHR testing better than traditional cholesterol tests?

Traditional cholesterol panels give you a surface-level view, while PHR testing goes deeper. Instead of looking only at LDL (low-density lipoprotein) or HDL (high-density lipoprotein), it analyzes inflammation markers, oxidized LDL, lipoprotein(a), and other silent contributors to heart disease. Dr. Michal will use this data to provide context that gives you a clearer understanding of your body’s needs. If you’ve ever been told “your cholesterol looks fine” but still felt uneasy, this may be why. Our cardio risk assessment in Rocky Mount uses PHR testing to catch red flags that routine tests often miss, so you can act before symptoms appear.

What do my PHR test results mean?

Dr. Michal will help you understand your results. He’ll walk you through each marker and explain how it reflects your current cardiovascular health. But it won’t stop there. Together, you’ll build a tailored prevention plan that aligns with your goals, lifestyle, and values. Through our primary care model, a cardio risk assessment in Rocky Mount isn’t just about finding problems; it’s about empowering you to protect your health.

How often should I get PHR testing?

Dr. Michal typically recommends annual PHR testing for those with risk factors such as family history, high stress, poor sleep, or metabolic conditions. This testing can be a part of your annual physicals at MDVIP It can also be useful if you’re actively working on a care plan or managing early signs of cardiovascular strain. Because this test captures a dynamic picture of your health over time, it’s ideal for tracking progress and catching changes early. If you’re unsure how often you need a cardio risk assessment in Rocky Mount, we’ll figure out what makes sense for your body and your future.

The MDVIP Process

Step 1: Consultation

During your consultation, you’ll sit down with a provider who’s ready to listen, review any concerning symptoms, and explore how advanced testing can reveal what traditional screenings often miss.

Step 2: Treatment

All PHR testing requires is a simple blood draw, but what it screens for is far from ordinary. We test for hidden inflammatory markers, lipoprotein(a), and other advanced indicators tied to heart attack and stroke risks before symptoms even begin.

Step 3: Results

We don’t just say “your labs look good” or “you’re high risk.” We walk you through what each result means in the context of your health and craft a personalized treatment plan that bridges the gap between where you are now to where you want to be.

I was really sick 😫 and wasn't getting any results from my primary doctor before Dr. Michal. Lost weight had no appetite along with constipation and felt really sick ..thinking it was the end of my life. The doctor was a Christian friend and my wife immediately got in touch with him for help. On my first visit he seemed to know what was going on and started scheduling tests along with a prescription that actually resolved the problem in a week. Appetite returned, my energy was coming back. All tests results came in and his analysis was on point. I am doing much better and feel very confident with my new doctor. Thank you Dr. Michal.
