Internal medicine physicians are equipped to handle the broad and comprehensive spectrum of illnesses that affect adults, and are recognized as experts in diagnosis and in the treatment of chronic illness, and in health promotion and disease prevention—they are not limited to one type of medical problem or organ system. Internal medicine specialists are equipped to deal with whatever problem a patient brings—no matter how common or rare, or how simple or complex. They are specially trained to solve puzzling diagnostic problems and can handle severe chronic illnesses and situations where several different illnesses may strike at the same time.

Dr. Vassilyadi’s services include but are not limited to basic and advanced medical diagnosing, management of multiple medical problems, nutrition forward health, men and women’s health, joint injections, cosmetic removals, medical home for all medical needs, and more.
