Comprehensive Adult Healthcare Specialists
The Department of Internal Medicine at Margaret Lawrence University Teaching Hospital offers in-depth evaluation and treatment for a wide range of adult health conditions. Our internists, often called the "doctor's doctor," are specialists who apply scientific knowledge and clinical expertise to the diagnosis, treatment, and compassionate care of adults across the spectrum from health to complex illness.
What We Do: The Role of an Internist
Internists are equipped to handle the broad and comprehensive spectrum of illnesses that affect adults. We are recognized as experts in diagnosis, in treatment of chronic illness, and in health promotion and disease prevention—we are not limited to one type of medical problem or organ system.
- Complex Diagnostics: We specialize in solving puzzling diagnostic problems and can handle severe chronic illnesses and situations where several different illnesses may strike at the same time.
- Long-Term Disease Management: We provide ongoing care for chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and respiratory illnesses, helping patients manage their health and improve their quality of life.
- Preventive Health Strategies: Our focus extends beyond treating illness to promoting wellness. We provide comprehensive health screenings, risk assessments, and personalized counseling on diet, exercise, and lifestyle choices.
A Collaborative, Patient-Centered Approach
Our internists serve as the central point of care for our adult patients. We work collaboratively with other specialists throughout the hospital, such as cardiologists, nephrologists, and surgeons, to ensure your care is seamless and fully integrated. This team-based approach guarantees that all aspects of your health are considered.
The foundation of our practice is the patient-physician relationship, rooted in trust, clinical excellence, and a commitment to continuous medical advancement. We are dedicated to providing the thoughtful, comprehensive care every adult deserves.
