Q	For whom do you provide care?
A	We care for individuals from early adulthood to our most senior citizens.


Q	How about my medical records?
A	You can have your medical records sent to us before your first visit. All that your current physician should require is a signed request/consent from you ("Please transfer my medical records to...") and our name and address. To request a transfer of your records can be completed at either our office or through your current physician's office.


Q	Why should I have an Internist as a family physician?
A	Studies show that treatment by Internists results in quality of care equal to sub-specialty care, high patient satisfaction and more effective use of hospitals, testing, procedures, and technology.

What do Internists do?

		Internists care for people of both genders and all adults. Internists diagnose and treat 90% of all patient problems.
		Internists work closely with patients and other sub-specialties to coordinate care for special and/or complicated problems.
		Internists treat conditions of all organ systems rather than limiting their practice to a specific organ system.
