Internal Medicine
Internal medicine doctors, also known as internists, focus on prevention and treatment of conditions and diseases in adults. Internists at Commonwealth Health Physician Network are trained in adult medicine and care for adolescents and adults with a wide range of health concerns, from common illnesses to complex, chronic medical problems. They are equipped to work with difficult diagnostic challenges and can manage care for severe chronic conditions or in situations where multiple illnesses are involved.
Your internist coordinates your care with other specialists as needed to provide quality care. Whether it's facilitating appropriate screenings, providing information on leading a healthy lifestyle or managing chronic disease, your internist serves as your personal health advocate. Internists provide a range of services, including:
- Care for common problems of the ears, eyes, skin, nervous system and reproductive system
- Diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic diseases, including arthritis, asthma, diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure
- Immunizations
- Inpatient and outpatient care for diseases
- Care of minor injuries
- Preventive care, including physical exams and well-woman exams

- Senior care services
- Pre- and post-operative consultations
