Role of the internal medicine care provider

Internal medicine care is provided by board-certified internists who utilize medical science and patient-centered approaches to focus on the comprehensive medical care of adults.

Your internal medicine provider is the first point of contact when you experience the symptoms of a health problem. He also offers routine physical exams, preventive screenings, and diagnosis of chronic or semi-acute issues like heart disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD).

Trust your internal medicine providers to coordinate care among all your healthcare providers. They also help you manage your chronic conditions, refill and update your prescriptions, and get you specialized care when it’s needed.
