Your Health Care Partner

Finding the right doctor can help you lead a healthier, happier life. Across the Sutter Health network, internal medicine doctors, or internists, are primary care physicians (PCPs) committed to serving as long-term health partners for you. Internists focus on preventing, diagnosing and treating disorders—particularly those that affect internal systems.

Your internist can help you make lifestyle changes that will improve your overall health. Internists offer an extensive range of nonsurgical medical services including:

Preventive care
Physical exams and evaluations
Management of chronic conditions
Management of complex disorders
Mental health evaluations
Treatment of infectious diseases
Geriatric care

In addition to providing long-term care, many internists have additional training in subspecialties such as gastroenterology and rheumatology. Some internists also offer an innovative new care model called shared medical appointments. Organized around conditions like diabetes or kidney disease, these groups offer the opportunity to get support from people going through similar health challenges while receiving medical advice at the same time.
