Services Offered by Internists:

• Preventive Care: Regular checkups are crucial for maintaining good health. Internists can perform annual physical exams, recommend and administer vaccinations, and conduct screenings for common health problems like high blood pressure, diabetes, and certain cancers.
• Acute Care: Whether you're experiencing a sudden illness like the flu or a minor injury, internists are equipped to diagnose and treat a variety of acute conditions. They can prescribe medications, recommend further testing if needed, and help you get back on your feet quickly.
• Chronic Disease Management: Many adults live with long-term health conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or arthritis. Internists can develop personalized management plans to help control these conditions, prevent complications, and improve your quality of life.
• Mental Health: Mental health is an integral part of overall health. Internists can screen for depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns. They can also provide initial treatment or refer you to a mental health specialist if needed.
