Primary care physicians of internal medicine, or “internists,” are doctors who treat adult patients, from adolescents to the elderly. The internists at Bryn Mawr Hospital are dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of conditions primarily affecting adults and are concerned with the care of the whole patient, from mental health to effective treatment of common problems of the eyes, ears, skin, nervous system and reproductive organs. Our internists are specially trained to diagnose and treat severe chronic illnesses and situations where several illnesses occur at the same time.
Geriatric medicine is the internal medicine specialty that serves the elderly through direct medical care.
