Preventive Care

Preventive care that keeps you ahead of illness

The best treatment is the problem you never develop. Preventive care is the foundation of everything we do at Lenox Medical Clinic because catching high blood pressure, prediabetes, or high cholesterol early is far easier than treating heart disease or diabetes later.

Your annual wellness exam includes age-appropriate screenings such as blood pressure checks, cholesterol and lipid testing, blood sugar and diabetes screening, thyroid function tests, and cancer screening referrals.

Dr. Challa reviews your family history, lifestyle, and risk factors to build a personalized prevention plan that may include diet and exercise guidance, weight-management support, and immunization updates.

Patients who stay current with preventive visits consistently spend less time sick, less money on emergency care, and more years feeling their best.

Family Medicine

Care for every member of your family

Women's Health

From annual wellness exams and preventive screenings to thyroid care, hormone concerns, and weight management, we provide attentive women's health care at every stage of life. Patients who prefer a female primary care physician often appreciate Dr. Challa's thorough, unhurried approach.

Men's Health

Men are statistically the least likely to see a doctor until something is wrong. We make it easier with efficient annual physicals, blood pressure and cholesterol monitoring, diabetes screening, and honest conversations about energy, sleep, weight, and stress.

Senior & Geriatric Care

Dr. Challa is fellowship-trained in geriatrics from the University of Louisville, a specialization few primary care clinics in metro Atlanta offer. Seniors receive Medicare Annual Wellness Visits, medication reviews, fall-risk assessments, memory screenings, and coordinated chronic care designed around independence and quality of life.

Pediatric Care

From school vaccines and sports physicals to sick visits for coughs, fevers, and ear infections, we help Doraville families keep their children healthy, often with same-day availability when your child wakes up unwell.

Same-Day Guidance

Primary care vs. urgent care: when should you see us?

For life-threatening emergencies such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, or severe injuries, call 911 or go to the emergency room.

For most everyday concerns such as colds, flu, infections, minor injuries, and prescription needs, a same-day visit with your own doctor is often better than urgent care.

You see a physician who knows your history, your records stay in one place, on-site lab testing is available, and the visit often costs less than urgent care or ER billing.

What to Expect

What to expect at your visit

Your first visit begins with a thorough review of your health history, current medications, and any concerns you want addressed, not a rushed checklist sprint.

Dr. Challa and her team take time to listen, examine, and explain. If lab work or imaging is needed, most testing happens on-site the same day.

Before you leave, you will have a clear plan: what we found, what it means, and what happens next.

New patients should bring a photo ID, insurance card, list of current medications, and any recent medical records. Arriving 15 minutes early helps registration go smoothly.
