Internal Medicine
Internal medicine is primary medical care for adults. A patient's primary care physician is the doctor he or she sees regularly for health maintenance examinations and screening tests.
These physicians also treat routine illnesses such as a sore throat, upset stomach or the flu. An internist manages chronic conditions that do not require the services of a specialist, refers patients to a specialist when necessary and manages overall medical care.
More than 50 physicians who are a part of Mount Nittany Health practice internal medicine. To learn more about choosing an internist as your primary care physician, see our list of internists below or contact Mount Nittany Physician Group: Bellefonte, Green Tech Drive, Park Avenue or University Drive.
