Internal Medicine
Internal Medicine [in-tur-nl] [med-uh-sin] ]that dealing especially with diagnosis and medical treatment of diseases and disorders of internal structures of the body.
With a diverse staff of 20 physicians the Mission Internal Medical Group’s Internal Medicine department has provided on going healthcare for patients across Orange County for the past 40 years. As Internists, or doctors of Internal Medicine, they treat adult patients with a focus on the diagnosis, management and non-surgical treatment of unusual or serious diseases.
Many internists are sub-specialists, meaning that they generally limit their medical practice to problems of one organ system or to one particular area of medical knowledge.
Internists have a lengthy clinical and scientific training in their areas of medical interest and have special expertise in the use of prescription drugs or other medical therapies (as opposed to surgery). While the name "internal medicine" may suggest that internists only treat problems of internal organs, this is not the case. Internists are trained to treat patients as whole people, not as mere organ systems.
