About Internal Medicine
Internal medicine doctors, also known as internists, are experts in solving complex medical mysteries. They focus on the non-surgical treatment of diseases that affect the internal organs of the body. They also provide ongoing, comprehensive medical care for older patients.
Internists often provide consultations to other medical professionals who are focusing on diagnostic problems that need second opinions. By working hand in hand with a patient’s primary care provider, internists help provide comprehensive medical care.
What does an internist do?
- Solve diagnostic problems
- Manage severe, long-term illnesses
- Help patients with managing multiple chronic conditions
- Develop lifelong care relationships with patients
- Understand how the human body works as a whole
