What happens during an internal medicine appointment?

When you come over to Seby Medical Center for an internal medicine appointment, a friendly clinician will greet you. They will assess your body mass index (BMI), pulse, blood pressure, temperature, and other health measures. 
 
Next, our internal medicine specialist will review your symptoms, medical history, and any medications you may be taking. They will perform a physical exam to evaluate your overall health and to look for signs of disease. In women, our medical providers offer an annual pelvic exam and Pap smear to screen for signs of cervical cancer. They can also complete a prostate exam in men when necessary.

Medical Tests

Depending on your chief complaint, our specialist might recommend a nasal or throat swab, a urine test, a blood test, a heart function test, and other tests. In some cases, the specialist may suggest X-rays, an MRI, a CT scan, or other imaging procedures.

Which internal medicine treatments are available?

Here are a few examples of the treatments and services that we offer:

Health education

Prescriptions for medications

Vaccinations

Minor wound and burn care

Specialist referrals

When needed, we can refer you to another medical specialist, such as a rheumatologist or an endocrinologist, who treats complex medical problems.
