While the name “internal medicine” may lead one to believe that internists only treat “internal” problems, doctors of internal medicine treat the whole person, not just internal organs.
We’re specially trained to solve puzzling diagnostic problems and can handle severe chronic illnesses and situations where several different illnesses may strike at the same time. We also bring to patients an understanding of wellness (disease prevention and the promotion of health), women’s health, substance abuse, mental health, as well as effective treatment of common problems of the eyes, ears, skin, nervous system and reproductive organs.
