Internal Medicine Doctors dedicate many years to studying the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of adult diseases. An internist is an advocate for your personal health, trained to navigate through puzzling diagnostic concerns. Called upon to act as a consultant to help solve complex health problems, internists are often referred to as “The Doctor’s Doctor.”
While an internist may act as your primary care physician, internists are not general practitioners. A doctor of internal medicine is generally equipped to handle most any problem a patient may experience no matter how simple, common or complex.
