Internal Medicine

disorders), infectious diseases, gastroenterology (diseases of the gut), nephrology (kidney
diseases), oncology (cancer), pulmonology (lung disorders), and rheumatology (arthritis and
musculoskeletal disorders).
Our Approach
is comprehensive: Preventative care, cancer screening, heart disease screening and prevention and
treatment of acute illnesses in the office, the hospital(including the medical-surgical wards,
medical, cardiac and neurological intensive care units), skilled nursing facilities as well as
assisted living facilities, all geared toward the wellness model (The condition of good physical
and mental health, especially when maintained by proper diet, exercise, and habits).
Continuity of Care:
You will have one doctor who knows your unique needs and will advocate for you / take care of you
in the hospital or in the office. We admit our own patients to the hospital avoiding your having
to see multiple "shift doctors" called hospitalists who could not possibly know you as well as
your regular doctor. We have strong relationships with all sub-specialists to whom we refer,
avoiding multiple doctors, multiple medications and possible conflicts in care.
