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 Duke Primary Care practices. 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.

Flu Vaccines

Flu vaccines are available at all Duke primary care locations. Schedule your seasonal flu shot appointment via HealthView.

If you need a primary care physician or would like more information, contact the Consultation and Referral Center at 888-ASK-DUKE (888-275-3853).

Remember that early prevention is the best way to stop the spread of the flu, so make an appointment to get your vaccination today.
