Internal Medicine

An internal medicine physician (pathologist in Greek terminology) is the primary care specialist for adults. They evaluate a wide range of symptoms, manage chronic conditions, coordinate preventive screening and refer to sub-specialists when needed. For many visitors, this is the right first appointment.

Expect a detailed conversation about your history and symptoms, a physical examination, and a plan — which may include lab work, imaging, medication or referral. Most visits last 20–30 minutes.
