The Role of the Internist: Your Health Navigator

Our General Physicians are not just doctors; they are medical detectives and navigators.

1. Complex Diagnosis: They excel in handling ambiguous symptoms and complicated cases that involve multiple organ systems, ensuring the underlying cause is correctly identified before treatment begins.

2. Coordination of Care: When a patient requires input from specialists (e.g., Cardiology, Nephrology, Urology), the Internist serves as the central manager, integrating recommendations to prevent conflicting treatments and ensuring cohesive care.

3. Critical Care Link: Our department plays a vital role in managing patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with acute medical emergencies, working alongside Critical Care specialists to stabilize and treat life-threatening conditions.
