When Should You See an Internal Medicine Specialist?
During a specialist consultation, our patients have the opportunity to discuss, investigate, and receive treatment for internal organ, internal medicine, and other health concerns. Our internal medicine specialists conduct a comprehensive physical examination, which may include an ECG test and its evaluation, as well as blood sugar measurement, blood pressure monitoring, weight measurement, and body size assessment if necessary.
Visiting an internal medicine specialist is recommended when symptoms are unclear, and you are unsure of their origin. Since internal medicine specialists examine the body as a whole, the consultation is comprehensive. You will first be asked about your current symptoms, previous illnesses, and any hereditary health conditions within your family.
