When my family medicine doctor retired, I decided to switch to an internal medicine specialist as my primary care provider. Internists only have adults as patients; and treat chronic, severe, and complex issues. She has been my doctor for over 30 years, and I couldn't respect or trust her more. Have you ever been treated by an internal medicine specialist?
