What an internist does
An internist is a doctor trained specifically in adult medicine. As your primary care doctor, an internist looks after your whole health: preventing illness, diagnosing new symptoms, managing chronic conditions over many years, and coordinating care with specialists and hospitals when you need them.
Care we provide
- Preventive care: annual physicals and wellness visits, screenings and vaccines.
- Sick visits: same-day visits for colds, flu, infections and other new problems.
- Chronic conditions: diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, thyroid disease, asthma and COPD, fatty liver and kidney health.
- Pain and injuries: back and neck pain, minor sprains and strains, and arthritis and joint pain.
- Weight management: medical weight loss and GLP-1 medicines.
- Medication management: reviews and refills to keep multiple medicines safe.
- Televisits: 24/7 for urgent matters and follow-ups when appropriate.
Why choose an internist for primary care?
Adults with several health conditions, or multiple medicines, benefit from a doctor trained to see how everything fits together. Dr. Singh is also board certified in Nephrology (kidney medicine), so the effect of conditions and medicines on your kidneys is watched closely, something many primary care practices can't offer.
