As you grow into adulthood, it becomes increasingly important to have a physician to provide an essential first-line of care against the diseases of internal organs. Internal medicine physicians, known as internists, are skilled in preventing and managing complex disorders of the body. The department of Internal Medicine at the Elmhurst Clinic offers a full range of quality care, including primary medicine and state-of-the-art specialty services.

Wherever you live or work in DuPage County, an internal medicine specialist is nearby. Our highly skilled and experienced physicians combine extensive training, often with subspecialty board certification or special training, with excellent communication skills to diagnose and treat a wide range of illnesses every day.

What is Internal Medicine?

Internists may be generalists or specialists. General internists typically act as personal physicians, developing long-term relationships with patients. Internists perform regular physical examinations, offer preventive care, diagnose and treat most nonsurgical illnesses and refer serious or unusual cases to an appropriate specialist. If a patient complains of persistent stomach problems, for example, a general internist might refer them to a gastroenterologist, an internist who specializes in disorders of the digestive system. The benefit of this at the Elmhurst Clinic is that the specialists are all on our staff.
