Internal Medicine Doctors in Apple Valley, CA and Victorville, CA

The medical practice known as internal medicine is not always fully understood by a lot of people! For example, when people hear that a doctor is an internist, they might assume that the doctor is an intern. While this is a reasonable mistake, internists are fully certified doctors often with many years of experience! Our internists at Dr. Shima Hadidchi MD Family Practice provide a wide variety of services with expertise and professional care.

Internal medicine doctors, or internists, specialize in treating a broad range of medical issues affecting the internal organs. Their specialties include cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, hematology, oncology, rheumatology, and immunology. With this broad range of specialties, internal medicine doctors are equipped to treat anything from diabetes to rheumatoid arthritis! Since many people develop multiple internal medical conditions as they age, internists need to have a comprehensive and detailed knowledge of such conditions so that they can provide proper treatment and understand how the conditions interact with each other and the body. Internal medicine doctors diligently and carefully monitor each condition a patient has, providing medication, treatment, and medical advice to optimize their patient’s health. In addition to treating patients, internal medicine doctors may conduct academic medical research to further their knowledge and contribute to their field of expertise.

In the same way that a pediatrician only treats children, internal medicine doctors only treat adults. However, some internal medicine doctors take extra training to add pediatric care to their offered services. In the same way, family medicine doctors often receive further internal medicine training as a way of bolstering the specialized services that they offer. Internal medicine doctors often provide more specialized services than family doctors and work in inpatient and outpatient settings. In contrast, family doctors offer a more comprehensive range of services and mostly work in outpatient settings. At Dr. Shima Hadidchi, MD, our medical professionals specialize in internal medicine, in addition to pediatric care and family medicine! As such, we are proud to offer excellent services for whatever medical concern you have.
