When Should You See an Internal Medicine Doctor?
An internal medicine doctor provides ongoing medical care for adults with a wide range of health needs. You may benefit from an internal medicine visit when you need a routine checkup, have new or unexplained symptoms, need help managing medications, or require ongoing care for a chronic medical condition.
At Prestige Primary Care, Rafael D. Sanchez, MD works with patients to manage conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, asthma, COPD, thyroid disorders, heart conditions, and other ongoing health concerns. Regular visits provide an opportunity to monitor changes in your health, review medications, discuss appropriate screenings, and adjust your care when needed.
Internal medicine also plays an important role in preventive care. Routine visits may include blood pressure checks, health screenings, medication reviews, discussion of nutrition and physical activity, and evaluation of risk factors based on your age, medical history, and individual needs.
For patients managing several health conditions, having one physician who understands the overall medical picture can help provide continuity of care. Dr. Sanchez can also help coordinate care with specialists when additional evaluation or treatment is appropriate.
