Q.What is an Internal Medicine Doctor?
By: Dawn Harris Sherling, M.D.
Not to be confused with an “intern” who is someone in their first year of training after completing medical school, an internist spends three years after medical school learning how to care for adults with both simple and complex diseases and also how to help keep adults healthy. You can think of them as a pediatrician for grown-ups. While practice patterns are changing, many general internists (like many in our practice) take care of the whole patient both in the office and in the hospital. They are the doctors who know you best and help when you are well and when you are sick. Read more about internists from the American College of Physicians:

Q.How long does it take to get a medication refill or test results?
We do ask you request your medication refills in advance, generally, we have a quick turn around time but it could take up to two business days. The most efficient way would be to request a refill from your pharmacy.
You will receive a call with your test results within three business days.
