The first appointment typically lasts 30 to 45 minutes. The internist will take a thorough medical history, review your medications and supplements, perform a physical exam, and order any needed lab work or screening tests. They are trained to dig into diagnostic puzzles, so they may ask detailed questions about symptoms you have mentioned to other doctors.
See an internist for annual physicals, chronic disease management (diabetes, heart disease, COPD), unexplained symptoms that do not have an obvious cause, medication management for multiple conditions, preventive screenings (colonoscopy referrals, cancer screenings), and any adult health concern. Internists do not treat children.
