Duke internal medicine physicians provide quality care for the prevention and treatment of disease in adults ages 18 and older.

Each Duke internist is an expert in diagnosing and caring for medical problems both simple and complex. The most common conditions we treat at our clinics are:

• Hypertension
• Diabetes
• High cholesterol
• Pain in the abdomen, lower back, or extremities
• Heart disease
• Coughs and other respiratory illnesses
• Urinary tract infections
• Asthma
• Malaise, fatigue, and anxiety
• Headache

We also provide the full complement of preventive medical care, including routine screenings and immunizations, to help our patients maintain or improve their health.

In addition, genetic testing and counseling for specific medical conditions is currently being offered in certain internal medicine practices with Duke Primary Care. Genetic testing can help identify patients who are at high risk for specific conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, breast cancer, prostate cancer and blood clotting disorders.
