Primary care for adults
Internal medicine doctors at UAB Medicine St. Vincent’s provide primary care for adults, including care for anxiety and chronic conditions.
An internal medicine doctor is an expert on diagnosing and treating common conditions—emotional, mental, and physical—that affect adults. Your doctor will provide screenings and wellness checks as part of preventive care. They will also help you manage and treat any conditions, including chronic conditions. We always begin by listening to your health concerns. Then, we develop a care plan that’s right for you.
Care for your changing health needs
We adapt to your changing care needs. We have a whole team to support your long-term and chronic care needs. As we age, our immune systems weaken. So, we are at higher risk for illnesses like the flu, pneumonia, COVID-19 and shingles. Getting the right vaccinations for your age can help provide protection. Talk with your doctor if you have questions or to find out which vaccines and screenings are right for you.
Schedule your Medicare Annual Wellness Visit
If are over age 65 and have Medicare Part B*, you may qualify for an Annual Wellness Visit. This is a great opportunity to sit down with a doctor, talk about your health history and medications, and get a wellness plan personalized for you. In this visit, you’ll have a conversation with a caregiver about your:
- Health history
- Medications
- Potential health risks
- Personal health goals
