From age 18 to 98, many adults prefer a specialist in internal medicine to serve as their primary care physician. At Mary Rutan Internal Medicine, we have five primary care providers that offer a broad spectrum of specialties and care models to best serve you and your ideal care type. Our providers are here to support your health and wellness needs.
What is Internal Medicine?
Internal Medicine providers, sometimes known as internists, are primary care providers that specialize in caring for the adult population. They provide comprehensive care for their patients and often form life-long relationships with them, allowing them to cater a care plan to each individual. Our Mary Rutan Internal Medicine Clinic is made up of physicians and nurse practitioners who provide screening and wellness exams that allow them to identify and treat various chronic and acute diseases. From treating the common cold, to completing physicals, to chronic disease management, an internal medicine provider provides personalized primary care for adults.
Many of our providers are accepting new patients! Call our office to schedule an appointment with one of our Internal Medicine providers.
