Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I keep my primary care doctor who is in-network with my insurance?

Yes, and we encourage you to do so.

Do you accept insurance?

No, however, we can provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement, if the insurance authorizes it.

Do you treat all ages?

Yes. Our doctor is board-certified and trained in both Internal Medicine and Pediatrics, and can see people of all ages. She applies the detailed Internal Medicine "doctor's doctor" approach in all care provided.

What types of things do you not treat?

​​​​​​​This is an Internal Medicine practice for all ages and stages. The scope of practice is within that umbrella. So, for instance:

  • We don’t perform surgery. Though we work closely with surgeons for expediting pre-operative evaluations to lower risk during surgery and can support clients in the post-operative period for keeping their non surgical issues under control while they recover from their surgery.
  • We do not practice obstetrics (the care of women throughout pregnancy, childbirth and the post partum period). Though we work closely with OB/GYN physicians to assist women managing thier non OB chronic conditions before, during and after pregnancy.
  • We do not manage or prescribe long-term narcotic or other scheduled substances.

What is Internal Medicine

​​​​​​​Internal Medicine is a medical specialty focused on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting adults, particulary those involving vital organs and or diseases that affect multiple organ systems such as many chronic conditions like diabetes, lupus, heart failure, liver disease or infection. Internal Medicine physicians (Internsits) are known as the "doctors doctor" because their training and expertice of the entire human body has prepared them well to provide long-term, compreshensive care both in hospitals and office settings and across the adult lifespan including adolescents and elderly. They are skilled in solving complicated diagnostic problems and managing patients with multiple concurrent diseases who may require many medications. All subspecialists in the medical field must first complete a 3 year Internal Medicine residency as a foundation to their subspecialty training.
