Internal Medicine at Jacksonville Orthopaedic Institute
By
There are various reasons you may need to visit an internal medicine doctor, from preventative care to treatment when you are sick. Internal medicine physicians are on the frontlines of healthcare. They are the professionals that first see early signs of cancer or chronic disease, depression, and preventative care. They are essentially the quarterbacks of healthcare. Dr. Yorio provides internal medicine care for patients age 12 and up.
4 Reasons Internal Medicine is Important
Dr. Yorio’s office
- Prevention of Illness – Regular internal medicine visits can help to detect underlying health issues and treat them before they become major problems.
- Saves Time– Internal Medicine Doctors can manage most health issues without referring patients to other specialists. This saves time and adds convenience for those with busy schedules.
- Saves Money – Internal medicine visits typically cost less than specialist visits or emergency room visits. Those without an internal medicine physician often have to go to an Emergency Department to treat minor issues. Regular doctor visits help to decrease the overall cost strain on the healthcare system.
- Continuity of Care – Internal medicine doctors can help patients with medication management in one place.
Annual health screenings are important for preventative care.
