Internal medicine physicians specialize in adult health care. In addition to diagnosing and treating all the conditions affecting adults, internists provide the preventive services you need to stay healthy and well.
Your internal medicine provider also serves as your primary care physician (PCP). PCPs give you a medical home — a place to call when you wake up feeling sick, want to get an annual exam, or need chronic care management.
Clear Choice Physicians offers comprehensive adult health care services, including (but not limited to):
Clear Choice Physicians offers specialized services that aren't available at most internal medicine practices. For example, the team includes interventional cardiologists, does cardiology ultrasounds on-site, and operates pacemaker and warfarin clinics.
During your annual exam, your provider learns about your family history, assesses your risk factors for chronic disease, and performs a thorough physical. Then they run biometric screenings, which include specific blood tests, registering your weight, blood pressure, and waist circumference.
After evaluating all this information, your provider can determine if you're at risk for or already are developing a chronic disease. Then they make lifestyle recommendations and prescribe medications as needed to prevent problems.
A few of the most common chronic conditions managed by internists include:
After a chronic condition diagnosis, there is no cure. Your provider treats the problem to prevent or delay disease progression and life-threatening complications.
Though some services are only available in the office, Clear Choice Physicians has a team of mobile physicians who make house calls when you can't get to the clinic. Whether you're at home, in a senior community, or assisted living facility, the internal medicine and cardiology team travel to you and provide high-quality care.
