Internal Medicine
Internal medicine focuses on caring for adults through the use of scientific techniques combined with thoughtful care. Doctors practicing internal medicine are called internists and they vary from physicians in that they only specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of conditions affecting adults. Internists provide adults with comprehensive care and receive training in endocrinology, rheumatology, infectious diseases, neurology, psychiatry, dermatology, ophthalmology, office gynecology, otorhinolaryngology, non-operative orthopedics, palliative medicine, sleep medicine, geriatrics, and rehabilitation medicine.
Testimonials
This is a great doctor he listens what you have to say and then comes up with a plan to help you with your problem, nowadays it's hard to find a doctor that really I mean really listens to you about your problem looking you in the eye instead of him staring at a computer. The whole time, he is the kind of doctor you can really trust in that really cares about you. I would recommend this doctor to anyone who wants a doctor that really listens and willing to spend time resolving the problem.
