Internal Medicine

Your health needs change over time, from routine checkups to managing new or ongoing conditions. Internal medicine doctors, also called internists, are here to guide you through each stage of adult care.  

At WMCHealth, our team provides the care you need, when you need it, at every stage of adulthood. 

Your internal medicine doctor often serves as your main point of contact for care. They help manage chronic conditions, guide you through screenings, and coordinate with subspecialists when needed. This approach keeps your care connected and focused on your overall wellbeing. 

Screenings and Preventative Care 

Many patients come to internal medicine for routine screenings that help detect conditions before they become more serious. These tests play an important role in preventing disease or finding it at a stage when treatment is most effective. 

Examples include colonoscopies starting at age 45 and lung scans for people with a history of smoking. Your internist will guide you on the screenings you need and when to schedule them. By keeping up with preventive care, you take important steps to catch problems early when they’re easier to treat.
