Internist

A doctor who specializes in Internal Medicine is called an "Internist", and takes care of conditions affecting all of the body systems, including heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis and all the other afflictions of adults. Internists do not operate on patients, they do not deliver babies, although they may do minor procedures in the office.

An Internist is often the primary care doctor for patients who may need multiple specialists, and should serve as an advocate for the patient. An Internist will assist with coordination of care and communications with all other providers involved in the medical care of the patient to optimize their wellness.
