Internal Medicine – Primary Care

Internal Medicine (or General Internal Medicine) is a medical specialty, for Medical Doctors, focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of illnesses in adults. As an Internist, I have gained experience in providing care for over 2 decades in both the inpatient and outpatient settings. I have gained specialized skills in managing patients with undifferentiated or multi-system disease processes and expertise in managing serious acute illnesses that affect multiple organ systems simultaneously in a single patient, as well as the management of chronic diseases in a single or multiple patients. I was specifically trained to care for patients with multiple simultaneous problems or complex comorbidities.

A Primary Care Physician is a Medical Doctor who provides both the first contact for a person with an undiagnosed health concern as well as continuing care for various other medical conditions over time. They undertake postgraduate medical and clinical training in Primary Care programs, such as Family Medicine (Family Practice), Pediatrics and Internal Medicine.
