Internal Medicine is best defined as primary care for adults. It is a large field where internal medicine doctors deal with many a wide variety of cases in adults from all ages over 18.
Although you may not be familiar with the term internal medicine doctor, they are otherwise known as internists, general practice doctors, or general physicians. QueensDocs primary care team is made up of these doctors along with pediatricians. Their role is to build a relationship with the patient based upon trust and open and clear communication.
Because internal medicine is concerned with adults, the doctor-patient relationship is especially important. An adult can tell when they are in poor health, so having open and clear communication with their doctor is very important as not confiding in their doctor will only help to deteriorate their condition.
Our internal medicine doctors here at QueensDocs are here not just to deal with your injuries or chronic conditions but to also listen to your concerns about your health and intervene with preventative treatment before your condition deteriorates. So having a relationship built on trust and open communication with your doctor is key when dealing with your health.
One way to keep communication channels open is through Healow, an app that will keep you in direct contact with your doctor along with keeping you updated on test and lab results.
We have well-equipped on-site laboratories to help with speedy assessments and diagnosis. Our care is convenient and comprehensive, including services such as radiology, ophthalmic laser surgery, nuclear studies with a nuclear camera, and physical therapy.
And if you need an emergency appointment, we offer walk-in care with no appointment needed.
