Internal Medicine
Internists are specialists with extensive training in the diagnosis and treatment of medical problems in adults and adolescents. In addition, we focus on preventive care for diseases such as cancer and heart attack. As primary care physicians, we are your health care resource, providing regular check-ups as well as managing complex diseases such as diabetes.
Your internist can provide you with your annual wellness exam, screen for diseases such as breast, prostate and colon cancer, as well as determine your risk for cardiovascular disease. In addition to treatment of acute illnesses such as flu, we also manage chronic illnesses like asthma, high blood pressure, and elevated cholesterol.
Your internist will coordinate care with our other specialists such as dermatologists or neurologists when additional care is needed. By offering comprehensive services, the physicians of DDA are able to provide quality solutions to all of your health care needs.
