An internist diagnoses and treats complex or multiple conditions in adults, and coordinates care when more than one health issue is happening at once. See one for chronic disease, an unclear diagnosis, or several related conditions.

An internist is a physician specialized in diagnosing and treating adult illnesses, with a comprehensive view when multiple organs or systems are involved.
Unlike a primary care physician, they have additional training for more complex cases, and often coordinate care alongside other specialists.
The internist thoroughly reviews your medical history, including all current diagnoses and medications — bring records from your doctor back home if you're traveling for care.
They may order lab work or imaging to get a complete picture of your health.
With that information, they'll propose a comprehensive management plan, coordinating with other specialists already treating you when needed.
