Annual Wellness Exam
A comprehensive preventive physical for adults 18 and older — history review, vitals, cardiovascular and respiratory assessment, age-appropriate screening, and a personalized care plan.
Board-certified internists trained to solve puzzling diagnostic problems and coordinate care across every specialty — for life.
Dr. Amy L. Kappes, D.O., is a board-certified internist caring for adults across West Palm Beach and Jupiter — combining seven decades of group tradition with the diagnostic focus only internal medicine training provides.
dult medicine is its own discipline. Internists spend at least three of seven training years learning how to prevent, diagnose, and treat the diseases that affect adults — and how to coordinate care when several strike at once.
Palm Beach Medical Group was founded in 1950 by four physicians who recognized that the community needed doctors to join together — to bring high-quality healthcare to South Florida through shared expertise rather than solo practice.
Almost seventy-five years later, the founders' guiding principles are still present. Dr. Kappes and her colleagues combine board-certified internal medicine expertise with a local network of sub-specialists to offer patients appropriate, timely care.
Internists focus on adult medicine. At least three of their seven or more years of medical school and postgraduate training are dedicated to learning how to prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases that affect adults — from puzzling diagnostic problems to severe chronic illnesses and situations where several conditions strike at the same time.
Laboratory and pharmacy services are on the premises. A secure, password-protected patient portal lets you request referrals, prescriptions, and appointments, and review your own diagnostic lab and x-ray results.
Every adult deserves a physician trained to see the whole picture — not just one symptom. Below are the core services Dr. Kappes offers, with self-pay pricing for patients without insurance. Most major plans are accepted; co-pays vary by carrier.
A comprehensive preventive physical for adults 18 and older — history review, vitals, cardiovascular and respiratory assessment, age-appropriate screening, and a personalized care plan.
Ongoing care for diabetes, hypertension, COPD, thyroid disease, and lipid disorders. Includes medication titration, lab monitoring, and quarterly check-ins to keep conditions stable.
On-premises blood draws and metabolic panels — CBC, comprehensive metabolic, lipid, A1C, TSH, and vitamin D. Most results return within 24 hours through the patient portal.
Prescription review, refill coordination, and reconciliation across specialists. Especially valuable for patients taking five or more medications or managing interactions.
Referrals to cardiology, gastroenterology, endocrinology, and orthopedics — with records shared, results reviewed, and care plans aligned across your entire medical team.
Same-week appointments for urgent adult concerns — infections, respiratory illness, minor injuries, and symptom flares. Includes examination, in-office testing, and treatment plan.
"Quality healthcare through teamwork — that's the vision our founders set in 1950, and it still guides every visit today."
In today's complex medical environment, internists take pride in caring for their patients for life — in the office, during hospitalization and intensive care, and in nursing homes. When the need arises, Dr. Kappes coordinates care among medical and surgical sub-specialties so nothing falls through the cracks. The patient portal keeps your history, medications, lab results, and visit notes in one secure place — and the conversation with the office continues between visits.
New and returning patients are welcome at either location. Same-week acute appointments are available — call the office that's closest to you, or send a request through the form and our staff will call you back within one business day.
