Internal Medicine Q & A
What is internal medicine?
Internal medicine considers the entire body rather than focusing on specialties like the cardiovascular (heart and blood circulation) system. The internists (internal medicine doctors) at AZZ Medical Associates consider how your body’s systems work together to better understand your symptoms’ causes.
Internists provide primary care for your general medical needs. They treat everyday illnesses and severe and long-term medical conditions.
If you need to see a specialist, your internal medicine doctor coordinates your care to keep track of your medications, test results, and treatment. AZZ Medical Associates employs several specialists, including gastroenterologists and sleep medicine experts.
Which conditions do internal medicine doctors treat?
The internal medicine team at AZZ Medical Associates manages many chronic (long-lasting) disorders, including:
- Heart disease
- Kidney disease
- High cholesterol
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
- Asthma
- High blood pressure (hypertension)

Which other services does internal medicine provide?
AZZ Medical Associates provides many additional services, including:
Preventive medicine
Preventive medicine helps you avoid getting sick. It includes immunizations against many severe diseases, annual physicals and wellness exams (including Medicare annual wellness visits), and cancer screenings like prostate exams and Pap smears for cervical cancer.
Your doctor can also provide healthy living advice, including help quitting smoking, losing weight, exercising more, relieving stress, and eating a more nutritious diet.
Remote patient monitoring
Remote patient monitoring involves using electronic devices at home, like BP monitors, waiting scales, and glucometers, to evaluate your health. These devices send information to your AZZ Medical Associates doctor, who uses it to aid in diagnosis and treatment.
Telehealth
Many internal medicine services are available using telehealth. This is a convenient way to see your doctor. Instead of visiting the office in person, you talk over a video link using secure internet technology.
