Geriatric Doctors

Geriatricians are physicians who specialize in providing medical care for persons over the age of 65. At Internal Medicine Arizona, our providers understand the various factors that are important to the elderly population and help each and every one of our patients to live their life at their best.

Annual Physical Exams

Here at Internal Medicine AZ, our primary care doctors prioritize our patient’s preventive care, emphasizing that the best way to treat difficult diagnoses is by preventing their development in an early stage and preventing them from happening at all. Having an annual checkup will not only help you in your healthcare, but will also help with your insurance. Most insurances could increase your deductibles or premiums if you don’t do this, which is why most insurances cover them completely so it will be a FREE VISIT for you.

Allergy Testing and Treatment

Allergies occur when your immune system reacts to a foreign substance producing antibodies. When these antibodies come in contact with any allergen, your immune system reacts by inflaming your skin, sinuses, airways, or digestive system.

Our office will help you in testing and treating this sometimes-troubling condition, making sure you can enjoy life and nature.

We offer in-house electrocardiograms. This is a test that will help our primary care physicians gain an understanding of how you heart is functioning, detect any heart problems you might have or that we have to follow up on, and give us immediate results.

Spirometry

Spirometry is one of the most common pulmonary function tests, it measures our patients’ lung function, helping our providers to assess breathing patterns and identify a wide range of conditions such as asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, and COPD. At Internal Medicine AZ, we can test your lungs and give our primary care providers a rapid understanding of your possible conditions.
