Internal Medicine
Preventative healthcare is paramount. Visiting your doctor annually can help you prevent many common illnesses.
What is internal medicine?
Internal medicine physicians are specialists who apply scientific knowledge and clinical expertise to diagnosis and treat complex illnesses. They specialize in adult medicine, and manage severe long-term illnesses, and help patients with multiple, complex chronic conditions.
​
Internists also provide long term patient care and maintain life-long relationships with adult patients, and their recommendations are based on each patient’s unique situation.
What service does an Internist perform?
Sub-specialties of internal medicine include allergy and immunology, cardiology (heart diseases), endocrinology (hormone disorders), hematology (blood disorders), infectious diseases, gastroenterology (diseases of the gut), nephrology (kidney diseases), oncology (cancer), pulmonology (lung disorders), and rheumatology (arthritis and musculoskeletal disorders).
Prevention is paramount
Providing preventive healthcare is essential to internists. This applies both to preventing the onset of chronic disease and preventing existing health conditions from worsening. Internists urge their patients to schedule required visits with healthcare professionals.
When should you see doctor?
Getting preventive care reduces the risk for diseases, disabilities, and death — yet millions of people in the United States don't get recommended preventive health care services.
For most generally healthy individuals, annual visits to their internists, family doctor or primary care physician is recommended for standard physicals, blood lab work and screenings based on gender, age, family history and other factors. But if you are diagnosed with a chronic condition, such as high blood pressure, diabetes or other risk factors for heart disease, your doctor will likely recommend more frequent consultations.
