Comprehensive Care for Adult Patients

Internists provide personal, patient-centered care that is accessible, coordinated and comprehensive. Our care team specializes in the care of adults, focusing on the prevention and treatment of adult diseases—from routine care of common illnesses and injuries to specialized care for rare or complex diseases and conditions.

Your internist / adult medicine physician will work closely with surgeons and other medical specialists to ensure that your care is coordinated and comprehensive.

Why Choose an Adult Internal Medicine Specialist?

Your internist specializing in adult medicine will act as your primary care physician, providing your annual physicals, as well as the treatment for common colds and flu, and more complex diseases such as diabetes, cancer and heart disease. Your internist will also arrange referral for specialty or surgical care and will provide preoperative evaluation and primary hospital care if needed.

Internal Organs
The specialty addresses diseases of the heart, blood, kidneys, lungs, digestive system, and other internal organs.
Broad Scope
Internists manage a wide range of conditions, from acute issues like colds to chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and asthma.
Complexity
They are experts in managing complex medical problems, particularly chronic conditions, where multiple organ systems may be involved.
