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

- Yes. Managing multiple chronic conditions is a core strength of Internal Medicine. Dr. Gonzalez is an expert in understanding how different adult diseases interact and can coordinate all aspects of care, including medications and specialist visits, to create a cohesive health plan.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Gonzalez's practice emphasizes adult wellness and disease prevention, including annual physicals, management of risk factors like high cholesterol and blood pressure, and recommended screenings for various conditions.
