FAQ About Annual Physical Exam

What is the main cause of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)?

Long-term cigarette smoking is the leading cause. Other factors include air pollution, chemical exposure, and genetics. CoreMed Plus helps patients understand their specific risk factors.

Can COPD be cured?

COPD cannot be cured, but it can be effectively managed. With proper treatment and lifestyle changes at CoreMed Plus, many patients experience fewer symptoms and slower disease progression.

What is the difference between COPD and asthma?

COPD is usually progressive and linked to smoking damage, while asthma often starts earlier in life and involves more reversible airway inflammation. CoreMed Plus provides accurate diagnosis for both.

How is COPD diagnosed?

Diagnosis is primarily done through spirometry (pulmonary function test) along with medical history and imaging. CoreMed Plus offers convenient in-office spirometry testing.

What are COPD exacerbations?

Exacerbations are sudden worsenings of symptoms often triggered by infections. CoreMed Plus provides action plans to prevent and treat flare-ups quickly.

Do I need to quit smoking if I already have COPD?

Yes — quitting smoking is the single most important step to slow COPD progression and improve breathing. CoreMed Plus offers dedicated smoking cessation support.

Dr. Mark Richter Bio

I grew up in Florida as the oldest of five sons. After earning my degree from the University of Florida, I pursued my medical education in the Dominican Republic. In 1988, I began my Family Practice Residency at the “old” Pontiac General Hospital. I have been providing medical care to the same community since 1991, first in Waterford and later at our current location in White Lake, where I continue to practice today. I take pride in being board certified by the American Academy of Family Physicians and remain committed to Primary Care. I am passionate about promoting a healthy lifestyle, including a proper “balanced” diet, exercise, exposure to healthy outdoor activities, and achieving work-life balance. I married my Medical School Sweetheart, Barbara, and we are fortunate to have two adult children and a granddaughter. We have been residents of Oakland County since 1988 and enjoy all that Michigan has to offer.
