Internal Medicine Providers Care For Adults

Internal medicine providers care for patients age 21 and older. They specialize in older patients, and provide geriatric care.

Internal medicine physicians are dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases that affect adults. Their training qualifies them to practice internal medicine, and you may see these physicians referred to by several terms, including "internists" or "doctors of internal medicine."

These dedicated physicians handle the broad and comprehensive spectrum of illnesses that affect adults, and they are not limited to one type of medical problem or organ system. They are specially trained to solve puzzling diagnostic problems and can handle severe chronic illnesses and situations where several different illnesses may strike at the same time.
