What is an Internist?
 

Internists are doctors for adults who have had intensive training to deal with all the medical and health concerns of adults. - no matter how simple or complex. The internists at Internal Medicine of Northern Michigan provide all aspects of health care from disease prevention to annual physicals including gynecologic exams, to management of ongoing chronic illnesses and inpatient care.

When necessary, we refer patients to specialists for testing or treatments, but we always continue to follow the course of a patient¡¯s health care along with the specialist. An internist is an appropriate choice as a health care provider for anyone over the age of 18.
