Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions do internal medicine doctors treat?
Internists specialize in diagnosing and managing complex adult diseases including diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, autoimmune conditions, respiratory illnesses, and gastrointestinal disorders. They often manage multiple chronic conditions simultaneously.
When should I see an internist instead of a general practitioner?
An internist is appropriate when you have multiple chronic conditions, complex medication needs, or a condition that hasn't responded to treatment. Many adults with ongoing health management needs prefer internists for their depth of adult medicine expertise.
Do internists do procedures?
Most internists focus on diagnosis and medical management rather than surgical procedures. However, they may perform basic procedures like joint injections, skin biopsies, or lumbar punctures. Subspecialists (cardiologists, gastroenterologists, etc.) trained in internal medicine perform more complex procedures.
Can an internist be my regular doctor?
Yes. Many adults use an internist as their primary care physician for ongoing health management, annual physicals, and coordination of specialist care. Internists do not typically see children, so families may prefer a family medicine doctor instead.
