- 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 for patients 18 years and older.

Dr. Roebuck is skilled at evaluating confusing or unusual symptoms to reach an accurate diagnosis.

- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
