Internal medicine specialists focus on adult medicine and have a wide-range of knowledge pertaining to complex diseases that affect adults. A doctor of internal medicine, like Dr. Brautbar, is often referred to as an “internist.” An internist is often called upon to act as consultants to other physicians to help them solve more difficult diagnostic problems.

With in-depth training in adult medicine, an internist (internal medicine doctor) is your best choice to help you understand the increasingly complex world of medical care. A physician of internal medicine can serve as your primary care doctor but is unique in that they do not perform surgery, do not deliver babies and do not treat children. They serve as specialists in the field of internal medicine.
