What is Internal Medicine?
- Internal medicine is the branch of medicine dealing with the diagnosis and non-surgical treatment of diseases, especially of internal organ systems.
- Doctors of internal medicine focus on adult medicine and have had special study and training focusing on the prevention and treatment of adult diseases.
- Internists are sometimes referred to as the "doctor's doctor," because they are often called upon to act as consultants to other physicians to help solve puzzling diagnostic problems.
- Dr. Wolf and Dr. Balta are both certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine (www.abim.org). Certification by ABIM means that internists have demonstrated to their peers and to the public that they have the clinical judgment, skills and attitudes essential for the delivery of excellent patient care.
