Internal Medicine Q & A

What is Internal Medicine?

Internal medicine is a branch of medicine that deals with illness and disease prevention, evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment when needed. Dr. Pathak and his staff have many years of experience in the field of Internal Medicine. They keep their patients as healthy as possible and can detect medical problems early before serious problems arise.

Which conditions do Internal Medicine physicians treat?

These are a few examples of conditions that internal medicine specialists can evaluate, diagnose, and treat:

  • Colds, flu, and COVID-19
  • Other illnesses
  • High blood pressure
  • High cholesterol
  • Diabetes

If you have a complex or serious medical problem, Dr. Pathak can refer you to a specialist as needed. 

What happens during Internal Medicine appointments?

During Internal Medicine visits at Unifying Health Center, friendly staff members check your blood pressure, body weight, pulse, and other vital signs. Dr. Pathak discusses your medical history, asks about symptoms you may have, and completes a physical examination to assess your overall health. 

He assesses your vision and hearing as needed, breathing, heartbeat, reflexes, and more. Dr. Pathak offers pelvic exams and Pap tests in women to screen for signs of cervical cancer, and prostate exams in men.

He may recommend you undergo diagnostic tests like blood tests, urine tests, nasal or throat swabs, electrocardiograms (EKGs), X-rays, or MRIs in some cases. Unifying Health Center also offers allergy and asthma testing, COVID-19 antibody testing, and other diagnostic tests as needed.
