Internal Medicine from Leading Doctors

Are you looking for an internal medicine doctor? If so, our CHRISTUS Health internal medicine physicians can help treat your condition.

Internal medicine focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases and conditions without surgery. They only work with adults.

A specialist in internal medicine is responsible for addressing a wide range of complex medical conditions affecting the body's internal organs, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, digestive system, endocrine system, and others—their goal is to manage these issues effectively and provide the best possible care for my patients.

We look at each patient individually, considering their medical history, lifestyle, and other factors to formulate a treatment plan tailored to their needs.

CHRISTUS Health internal medicine doctors provide comprehensive care to patients:

  • Board-certified expert physicians
  • Compassionate, patient-centered care
  • MyCHRISTUS online care services
  • Comprehensive monitoring and tracking of general health
  • Seamless collaboration with specialists for coordinated care

 


 

How can an Internal Medicine Physician Improve Your Health?

Internal medicine doctors provide comprehensive, long-term care for various illnesses. They have the experience and knowledge necessary to provide complete and comprehensive care and will coordinate with other health care professionals if needed.

Internists may refer a patient to a specialist when needed. Internists also provide preventive care, such as routine checkups and screenings, to help prevent illness or detect health problems early when they are treated more easily.

The difference between an internist and a family physician is the scope of their practice. Internists focus on caring for adult patients, while family physicians provide comprehensive medical care to people of all ages – including children, adolescents, and adults.
