Dean Internal Medicine

Dean's Internal Medicine physicians (internists) focus on primary care of adults — from teenagers to the elderly — and diseases of internal organs. They provide care at multiple Dean Clinic locations.

Conditions Treated

Internal Medicine includes prevention, management and treatment of common and complex medical conditions that occur in adults, such as:

Heart disease
High blood pressure
Digestive disorders
Cancer
Diabetes

Arthritis
Rheumatism
Osteoporosis
Conditions related to aging
Healthy lifestyle management

When appropriate, an Internal Medicine physician will refer patients to other medical specialists for additional care. They actively monitor a patient's overall condition and health, even when other medical specialists are involved.
