Internal Medicine
Internal Medicine doctors, also known as internists, diagnose and treat a broad range of adult diseases by checking physical symptoms, bloodwork and urinalysis. They prescribe medications to keep you healthy and can refer you to a specialist when there is a condition that requires more attention.
Doctors who specialize in Internal Medicine have a lifelong doctor-patient relationship with their patients and can help prevent illness or treat existing conditions. They are also well-trained in the long-term care of patients who have been diagnosed with a chronic disease or an allergy.
Internists often work in hospitals as part of a team to ensure a patient receives the highest quality medical treatment. They may specialize in specific areas of medicine, including allergy and immunology, cardiology (heart disease), endocrinology (hormone disorders), gastroenterology (diseases of the gut), nephrology (kidney diseases), oncology (cancer), or pulmonology (lung disease). Subspecialty training usually takes one to three years beyond an internship and residency.
Surgery
Surgical procedures may be performed to diagnose or confirm a diagnosis, remove damaged tissue, repair an injury, transplant tissues or organs, and perform other medical treatments.
Traditionally, surgery required large incisions but advances in technology have made it possible to make smaller (less than 1 centimeter) incisions. This is especially useful when treating tumors, polyps, or other abnormal growths.
The procedure usually lasts from minutes to hours, and most people are able to return home after their surgery. However, some patients may need to stay at a rehabilitation facility for a period of time after their procedure.
Choosing to undergo surgery is a major decision that should not be taken lightly. Talk to your healthcare provider about your options and consider the risks and benefits before making a decision.
Radiology
Radiology is the medical discipline that uses imaging modalities to diagnose and treat diseases and injuries within the body. It uses X-rays, CT scans, MRIs and PET scans to examine bones, tissues, blood vessels, organs and other parts of the body.
The radiology specialty focuses on using these medical tools to detect and treat illnesses and conditions such as cancer, blood clots, broken bones, heart problems and other issues. It also helps doctors track their patients’ responses to specific treatment.
To become a radiologist, you need 9 or more years of medical education and 4 or more years of on-the-job training called residency. After completing your residency, you can take a board exam and become licensed to practice medicine.
Geriatric Care
As your pet ages, they are faced with a variety of health problems that can be difficult to detect and treat on the surface. This is why our doctors recommend regular screening tests and health examinations for older pets to help catch these issues early. Whether it’s for cancer, heart disease, kidney and bladder disease, liver disease or diabetes, our veterinarians can diagnose these issues early so they can be managed effectively, preventing them from worsening to critical health situations. We can also provide specialized preventive care for your senior pets, such as flea and tick prevention and heartworm medication, to keep them healthy, happy and comfortable. Our veterinary team is here to provide you with the best possible care for your pet at our Miami FL animal hospital.
