Our expert providers pride themselves on taking the time to truly listen to you. No judgment. No hurry. Just friendly, convenient care from providers you can trust—with same-day appointments often available and no referral required.

Also known as internists, internal medicine providers can give wellness exams, diagnose and treat a wide range of health conditions, and, if needed, help arrange care with a specialist.

Internal Medicine FAQ

Who should see an internal medicine provider?

An internal medicine provider is a good fit for any adult (18 years old or over) seeking a primary care provider—someone who you see on a regular basis, knows your background, and has a good feel for your health needs.

Why should I see an internal medicine provider?

Internal medicine providers are trained to treat a wide range of health issues. Their versatility makes them a good option to serve as your go-to doctor for routine care. Over time, your internal medicine provider becomes familiar with you and your medical history, which helps them offer the best, most personalized care for your needs.

Regular visits to your internist are an ideal way to spot health issues before they become major problems. If you have an acute illness such as an ear infection or a minor injury like a sprained ankle, same-day appointments with your internal medicine provider may be available. And if you need care from a specialist, your internal medicine provider can refer you to the right person.
