Treatments

At Sentinel Health Partners, internal medicine doctors treat acute and chronic illnesses, administer immunizations for the flu, give hyalgan injections for osteoarthritis of the knee, and order diagnostic tests such as blood work and lab tests, X-rays, stress tests, ultrasounds, bone density testing, and more to help diagnose illness.

During your annual physical exam, your doctor will discuss your overall health and wellness. He or she may ask questions about your weight, stress level, sleep quality, heart health, and risk factors for disease. You should see an internist if any of these conditions run in your family:

• Autoimmune Disease
• Cancer
• Crohn’s Disease
• Diabetes
• Hearing Loss and/or Vision Loss
• Heart Disease
• Osteoporosis
• Peripheral Artery Disease
