Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Steffany Mock:
- 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).

- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
