Internal Medicine

Internal medicine is a medical specialty in healthcare focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of illnesses in adults.

Doctors and health professionals who specialize in this field, called internists, are known for managing complex and chronic health issues involving multiple body systems.

Here at Doctors Hospital in Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands, our robust Internal Medicine department are providers of medical care for a number of concerns. Our expert team of internal medicine specialists provides patient care:

Comprehensive Care

Internists provide care for various health issues, from common illnesses like the flu to complex conditions such as hypertension, diabetes and heart disease. They often act as primary care physicians for adults.

Preventive Care

This involves regular check-ups, disease screenings, immunizations, and lifestyle advice to help patients stay healthy and prevent illnesses.

Diagnosis and Treatment

Internists are skilled in diagnosing difficult medical problems. They use patient history, physical exams, and diagnostic tests to identify illnesses and develop treatment plans

Chronic Disease Management

They help patients manage long-term conditions through medication, lifestyle changes, and monitoring to avoid complications.

Coordination of Care

For patients with complex health issues, internists coordinate care with other specialists to ensure comprehensive management of all aspects of their health.

In-Depth Knowledge

Internists have extensive knowledge of various organ systems and their interactions, allowing them to treat a broad range of illnesses.

At Doctors Hospital, we collaborate closely with various subspecialties of internal medicine, including hematology, oncology, rheumatology, endocrinology, neurology, podiatry, and cardiology. Our internal medicine specialists manage diseases of the stomach, intestines, and liver, as well as both benign and malignant blood disorders, cancers (within the realm of dermatology and others), infectious diseases, and autoimmune conditions. This multidisciplinary approach combined with our 24/7 urgent care medical service offers substantial benefits, particularly for patients on island with multiple and complex conditions.

Cancer patients, in particular, benefit from our advanced diagnostic capabilities and comprehensive non-surgical and surgical treatments. Each patient receives coordinated care in conjunction with our surgical colleagues, ensuring seamless integration of outpatient and inpatient services. Our clinic in George Town is equipped with state-of-the-art endoscopy technology, enabling minimally invasive treatments and promoting faster recovery times for our patients.

When to see an Internist:

For routine check-ups, preventive screenings, and general health management.
If you have chronic conditions like high blood pressure, hypertension, diabetes, or asthma.
When dealing with multiple health issues requiring comprehensive care.
For undiagnosed symptoms that are complex or puzzling.
