Internal Medicine

What is internal medicine?

Internal medicine is a broad medical discipline that covers most basic medical care for adults. If you’re over 20, you can go to an internal medicine specialist for your regular exams or book sick visits when you get new or worsening symptoms. Internal medicine providers like Dr. Bajaj have deep and detailed knowledge about health, wellness, and your body’s needs.

At Hope Hematology & Oncology Associates LLC, Dr. Bajaj provides diagnostic evaluations and treatment for a wide range of conditions. Internal medicine is unique because it doesn’t just focus on a single body system or disease like many other medical specialties. Instead, it covers the basic care of many different organs and systems. 

When health issues arise that are outside the scope of Dr. Bajaj’s expertise, she can refer you to specialists with a deeper knowledge of the disease or condition affecting you. She can also coordinate your care with referred specialists to keep things consistent. 

Which conditions can an internal medicine provider treat?

As an internist, oncologist, and hematologist, Dr. Bajaj has the skills and knowledge necessary to diagnose and treat a wide range of chronic and acute health conditions. A few of her specialties include:

• Hypertension
• Cardiovascular disease
• Diabetes
• Obesity
• Chronic lung disease
• Bleeding disorders
• Anemia
• Cancer
• Endometriosis
• Arthritis

Dr. Bajaj doesn’t just treat or manage conditions like these: She can help you prevent them too. With regular visits, she gives you one-on-one, individualized counseling regarding your nutrition and lifestyle. If you have any questions about your health and what you need to do to improve it, she can answer them in detail. 

Which services are available with internal medicine?

At Hope Hematology & Oncology Associates LLC, Dr. Bajaj provides a wide range of services utilizing the latest evidence-based scientific knowledge. She also has plenty of resources and technologies at her fingertips that aid in her precision. You can receive:

Diagnostic tests

Diagnostic tests, like blood draws, urinalysis, X-rays, and ultrasounds, are tests that Dr. Bajaj administers when you have symptoms. She first performs a physical exam and asks about your medical history before recommending tests and helping you interpret their results. 

Screenings

Screenings are like diagnostic tests, but you get them when you don’t have symptoms. Dr. Bajaj can tell you which screening tests you need based on your risk factors, like age, habits, and family history. 

In-office treatments

Dr. Bajaj performs in-office treatments on an outpatient basis, meaning you can go home directly after you’re done. These include treatments for cancer like radiation and chemotherapy. 

Medication management

If you have a medical condition, Dr. Bajaj can prescribe your medications and control their dosages.
