Internal Medicine and Patient Care Approach
Internal Medicine focuses on comprehensive adult healthcare rather than one organ system. This is particularly useful for patients managing several conditions at the same time, such as diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease, respiratory illness, or cardiovascular problems.
Dr. Diab’s training allows her to evaluate new symptoms while also considering medications, previous diagnoses, laboratory findings, and long-term health risks. Current provider data associates her clinical work with a broad range of common and complex adult medical conditions.
Evaluation may involve a physical examination, blood testing, ECG testing, imaging, medication review, or referral to a subspecialist depending on the problem.
Her additional public-health training supports an interest in prevention and the broader factors that influence chronic disease. She has co-authored peer-reviewed work examining heart-healthy dietary patterns and cardiovascular disease prevention.
