GENERAL INTERNAL Medicine - adult primary care

Internal Medicine doctors - sometimes called Internists - deal with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease in adults. At UBMD Internal Medicine, we care for patients in both hospital and office practice settings. Currently we have teams of hospital-based doctors at Buffalo General Medical Center and Erie County Medical Center. Our outpatient doctors work at several locations throughout Western New York.

We now have telemedicine services available for our patients. Please click here to learn more and to access UBMD CareConnect.

NOTE: Do not contact a physician/provider by email regarding healthcare information. Our email is not encrypted and will not protect your personal information. For medical needs, please telephone your physician/provider at the location where you were seen. If you have a medical emergency, dial 911 immediately.
