Doctors of Internal Medicine focus on general adult medicine. They care for patients from the teen years through old age. Internists have special training that focuses on the prevention and treatment of adult diseases. For more information visit www.acponline.org
A primary care physician (PCP) is the first point of contact for a patient with a medical or health concern. He or she will educate, advise and guide you with all of your healthcare needs. Your PCP can be a doctor of Internal Medicine or a nurse practitioner who focuses on primary care. Having a PCP is important because he or she can determine when you need to see a specialist, help you find the right specialist, and coordinate all of your care. Some healthcare insurers require a referral from your PCP before you can see a specialist, which can take up to 48 hours for approval.
If you are a first-time or a returning patient, please call us at (630) 893-0347.
