Internal Medicine FAQ
What is internal medicine?
What kind of care does internal medicine include?
Internal medicine includes virtually all of the routine medical care you may need over time.
Annual exams
You’ll see your doctor at Prestige Physicians for physical wellness exams around once a year, or as recommended for your specific situation. Your physical exams include screening for illnesses or conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes.
Your internal medicine specialist also screens for health issues specific to your sex, age, and health. For example, your internal medicine doctor at Prestige Physicians can screen for prostate cancer in men and breast cancer in women along with many other conditions and illnesses.
Chronic illness management
Your internal medicine doctor can manage your chronic disease like diabetes or hypertension through lifestyle changes, medication, and close medical monitoring.
Acute illness
Your internal medicine doctor can also help with acute illness. When you come down with a cold, flu, bronchitis, allergic reaction, or any other sudden illness, your internal medicine doctor can help you recover as quickly as possible.
Acute injury
Internal medicine physicians at Prestige Physicians treat acute injuries of all kinds, including problems like sprains, lacerations, broken bones, and any other non-life threatening injury.
Hospital visits
The internal medicine doctors at Prestige Physicians work in both outpatient and inpatient care. They regularly do hospital rounds, so if you’re hospitalized for any reason, your physician continues to manage your care in conjunction with other hospital specialists. This gives you true continuity of care that’s often lacking with other primary care providers.
The Prestige Physicians team has all your health and wellness needs covered, and they always strive to include you in the process.
