What Is Internal Medicine?

Internal medicine is the medical specialty that focuses on diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases in adults.

What is an internal medicine doctor?

A doctor trained in internal medicine provides primary care for adult patients. This doctor:

  • Is an expert in disease prevention, early detection of disease and wellness
  • Evaluates and manages all aspects of illness, including physical, psychological, social and emotional
  • Consults with patients who are having difficult, complex problems and helps coordinate specialized care

Internal medicine doctors: Care and treatment for adults

In addition to routine, preventive adult primary care, our internal medicine physicians also provide:

  • Early detection, diagnosis and treatment for adult health needs
  • Help coordinating prescriptions and refills
  • Vaccinations and travel consultations
  • Fast referral and coordination with Stanford Health Care if you need specialized care

EMERGENCY CARE

Emergency room visits outside clinic hours no longer require pre-authorization by your doctor, by California State Law. Make sure you inform your physician within 24 hours following your visit.

Be aware of your health plan limitations - unless you require 911 emergency transport, some health plans require you to obtain all after-hours emergency care at Stanford ER if you have a primary care doctor at Stanford.

A physician is on-call after hours to coordinate any emergency care needs which arise after-hours and can be reached at the 24 hour number: 650-498-9000.
