Check-ups and medical requirements
Medical check-ups in Valenzuela for work, yearly exams and pregnancy care, with the doctor, laboratory and X-ray in one building at our Marulas main branch. Rates depend on your tests, so we quote them by phone.

Annual physical exam
It usually covers a physical exam, blood count, blood sugar and cholesterol, urinalysis and a chest X-ray. Your doctor may add an ECG depending on your age and history.
