Do I Need an Internist if I See Specialists for Chronic Health Conditions?

While specialists may address specific treatments, an internist serves as the central hub for your medical treatment. Dr. Blend may refer you to specialists for specific treatments, but having an internist is crucial for coordinating and tracking your overall healthcare. Internists are especially valuable for routine and emergency medical care, providing familiar and trustworthy assistance for short-term medical concerns.
