WHAT IS AN INTERNIST?

Internal medicine physicians or internists are specialists who apply scientific knowledge and clinical expertise to the diagnosis, treatment, and compassionate care of adults across the spectrum from health to complex illness. They are especially well-trained in the diagnosis of puzzling medical problems, in the ongoing care of chronic illnesses, and in caring for patients with more than one disease. Internists also specialize in health promotion and disease prevention.

“The awe of discovering the human body. The honor of being trusted to give advice. The gratitude for helping someone through a difficult illness. These things never grow old.” Danielle Ofri, MD, 2020.

As your doctor, Dr. Kelly will analyze your medical history, physical condition, and the results of scientific tests, taking as much time as necessary for your care. He takes a PERSONAL INTEREST AND APPROACH with each patient. He will guide you through the course of treatment as well as counsel you on any appropriate lifestyle changes.
