Internists help you prevent illnesses by offering routine care like annual checkups and health screenings. If you have symptoms but no diagnosis, an internal medicine provider is a great first stop on the road to wellness. They can examine you, listen to your health concerns and provide a diagnosis and treatment. If you need to see a specialist, they can provide referrals.
If you have health issues that aren’t easy to manage, internal medicine providers are an excellent primary health option. Managing a complex diagnosis or multiple health issues often means seeing several different doctors. Getting referrals, scheduling appointments and sending updated records to each of your specialists on your own can be a lot of work. Internal medicine providers often coordinate care and treatments between specialists on your behalf.
OSF primary care has dozens of internal medicine specialists at a variety of locations who’re ready to help you prevent, treat and manage your health concerns.
