Generally, those exposed to the risk of vitamin D deficiency, for example, people who have little sun exposure, the elderly, and patients who have illness that hinders nutrients intake, may require regular examinations. Our physician can evaluate your own risk factors and provide individualized testing.

At Macie Medical in Houston TX, we recommend discussing vitamin D requirements during your general routine checkups to establish if a test is needed.
