Heart Disease Prevention Program:
Cardiovascular disease is the #1 killer in our country and one of the largest goals of preventive care. Executive Care contains a comprehensive program to assist in reducing your risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Components include careful assessment of smoking, diet and exercise habits, EKG, measurement of weight, blood pressure, examination of heart, lungs and pulses. If needed, patients will be referred for heart tests such as exercise stress test to measure function and Heart Scan with electron beam computed tomography to measure coronary artery calcium. (Outside cardiac testing is not covered by the annual fee)
Executive Care also includes screening with Berkeley Heartlab, Inc. cardiovascular risk panel of tests. This panel contains over a dozen blood tests that are not included in routine, insurance covered testing. Tests such as Apolipoprotein B and Lipoprotein (a) provide valuable clues that might otherwise be missed. These sophisticated tests provide a way to measure progress of medical and lifestyle interventions designed to reduce cardiac risk. ( The Berkeley Heartlab study is covered by the annual fee)
Weight Management Program:
Approximately 2/3rds of Americans are overweight. Executive Care offers an opportunity to address the many causes of this problem. Careful examination and testing can reveal medical and emotional causes of obesity as well as medical complications of obesity. We provide a coordinated management program integrating patient education, stress management, fitness and nutritional assessment as well as referral to gastronomical resources in the community. All in a friendly, trusted medical environment.
Fitness Evaluation:
Executive Care includes an in-depth evaluation of a patient’s level of physical fitness from a variety of perspectives including physical strength, balance, posture, and past injury assessment. Working under the close supervision of a credentialed fitness expert, each patient undertakes a series of tests and exercises designed to reveal the subtle details of individual fitness. The assessment concludes with a customized exercise plan designed to safely and effectively achieve fitness goals.
Nutrition Evaluation:
Executive Care includes a complete nutritional assessment. A registered dietitian will review your medical history, family history, laboratory results, and your food habits. After consulting with Dr. Rotman, she will provide you with specific dietary recommendations to meet your health and fitness goals. Treatment plans emphasize practicality, flexibility and good taste.
Stress Management:
High levels of professional achievement can be associated with increased levels of stress, sleep disturbances and other emotional challenges which can sap productivity. Executive Care includes assessment for stress, sleep and emotional disturbances with available treatment options including referrals to executive coaches and therapists if desired. (Outside referrals are not covered in the annual fee).
Acupuncture Treatment:
Acupuncture is an ancient healing method that is safe and relaxing. Executive Care includes an initial acupuncture session to encourage participants to use this form of healing for a wide range of health problems such as migraine headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic sinus disease or back pain.

Executive Care includes an hour long massage from a certified massage therapist. After completing the comprehensive medical examination you will experience a massage from the PerfectBalance Studio in our building.
