What is an Internist?  

An internist, also known as an internal medicine physician, is a medical professional who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adult diseases. These highly skilled physicians are trained to manage complex medical conditions and provide personalized care to their patients. Internists are equipped with a deep understanding of how different organs and systems in the body interact, allowing them to offer comprehensive healthcare services.
