Internal Medicine

Internal medicine physicians care for patients from young adulthood into their senior years.

At Premier HealthCare Associates, we combine the latest diagnostic technology with the talents of a highly skilled staff.

At least three of their seven or more years of medical school and postgraduate training are dedicated to learning how to prevent, diagnose and treat diseases that affect adults. Internists are sometimes referred to as the "doctor's doctor" because they are often called upon to act as consultants to other physicians to help solve puzzling diagnostic problems.
