Internal Medicine

Internal medicine is a medical specialty that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases in adults. 

Physicians specialising in internal medicine, known as internists or internal medicine doctors, are equipped with a comprehensive understanding of the human body and its various systems. Our Internal Medicine providers are trained to manage a wide range of health conditions, from common illnesses to complex diseases.

What is an Internist Doctor?

Internal medicine physicians are known for their expertise in diagnosing and treating multiple diseases and conditions, often referred to as "generalists" or "doctors for adults." They take a holistic approach to patient care, considering not only the specific symptoms or conditions but also the overall well-being of the individual. They prioritise disease prevention, health promotion, and the management of chronic conditions.

Internists are skilled in evaluating complex medical situations, often dealing with multiple health issues in a single patient. They are adept at utilizing medical history, physical examinations, and diagnostic tests to arrive at accurate diagnoses. Additionally, internal medicine doctors coordinate care with other specialists when needed, acting as the primary point of contact for their patients' medical needs.
