Equipment, comfort and getting in
Questions the clinic answers
What does internal medicine mean?
It's the branch of adult medicine that treats the body as a whole rather than one organ at a time. The doctor who practices it is called an internist.
What counts as an "unhealthy" symptom worth getting checked?
Ongoing tiredness that rest doesn't fix, weight change you can't explain, a low fever that keeps coming back, digestive changes that persist, or, honestly, anything that's felt off for more than a couple of weeks, even without anything dramatic attached to it.
Which medical symptoms should I never ignore?
Chest pain, a sudden severe headache, unexplained weight loss, unusual bleeding, breathlessness at rest, sudden confusion or vision changes, and a persistent high fever. None of these are worth sitting on.
Need another dentist?
Other clinics nearby that also offer care for nervous patients and sedation.
