An internist is a specially trained primary care physician who only treats adult patients. As a board-certified internist with over 17 years of experience in both inpatient and outpatient medical settings, Dr. Patel sees patients with a wide range of health conditions such as upper respiratory infections, high cholesterol, back pain, diabetes, allergies, heart disease, skin irritations, depression or anxiety, hypertension, sports injuries, ear infections, digestive problems, and chronic lung disease. Dr. Patel always carefully evaluates all aspects of a patient’s current medical status and past history, knowing how often one health problem can lead to additional complications. Our staff is dedicated to providing comprehensive holistic and individualized care for every patient we see, with an emphasis on long-term wellness promotion and disease prevention. At Total MD Care, your overall health and quality of life truly is our passion.
