Primary Care – Internal Medicine

Physicians specializing in internal medicine dedicate their expertise to the field of adult medicine, having undergone extensive training and education focused on the prevention and treatment of ailments affecting adults over the age of 18.

At Upstate Medical University, our specialized training equips our physicians with the skills they need to effectively diagnose complex medical conditions and provide comprehensive care to patients, regardless of the complexity of their health concerns.

In addition to our diagnostic expertise, we also emphasize the importance of preventive care and promoting overall well-being, including disease prevention, women's health, addressing substance abuse, and addressing mental health concerns. Moreover, our internists possess the necessary proficiency to effectively treat common ailments affecting various parts of the body, such as the eyes, ears, skin, nervous system, joints, and reproductive organs.
