Comprehensive, one-day executive physical exam

Scripps Center for Executive Health in San Diego offers busy men and women a comprehensive, one-day executive physical exam that won’t overlook a thing or waste a moment of your time. 


Getting healthy is one thing. Staying healthy — body, mind and emotion — requires a carefully curated approach with physician experts from multiple disciplines coming together for you. The Scripps Center for Executive Health WholePerson Examination™ can help detect disease-onset earlier and keep you healthy longer.  


It’s your own, personalized examination designed just for you. And we have the expertise, the exclusive environment and the passion to help you get the most out of it.

Experience the excellence

At Scripps Center for Executive Health, these words are more than just a tag line — they are the cornerstone of every aspect of your visit — from the moment you schedule, to the care provided by your select team of Scripps physicians and clinicians, and your secure, fully integrated electronic report.


Excellence isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. It is listening and tailoring a care plan around your specific needs and goals. And it is this tailored, “experience of excellence” that helps make us a nationally recognized program.


Excellence is also in the way we safeguard your privacy. Which is why, as an Executive Health patient, your health information is kept outside the reach of insurance companies’ routine requests.


Finally, “Experience the Excellence” means that physicians and other members of your care team are ready and waiting for you. Our model of care makes wait times nearly non-existent while remaining flexible enough to evaluate any hidden health concerns.


It is our privilege to care for you.
