- What is the difference between an Internal Medicine doctor and a Family Medicine doctor?

- Dr. Dwivedi's practice emphasizes both treating illness and preventing it. A major focus is adult wellness and disease prevention, including annual physicals, managing risk factors, and providing recommended screenings.
