Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Remenchik:
- What is the difference between an Internal Medicine doctor and a Family Medicine doctor?
- Internal Medicine physicians, or Internists, specialize in adult health care (typically age 18 and older).

Family Medicine physicians, in contrast, provide care for patients of all ages, including children.

- Should I see an Internist for a common illness like a sinus infection?
