Congrats to UC San Diego physicians for earning Top Doc status in San Diego Magazine.

Internal medicine doctors specialize in preventing, diagnosing and treating diseases in adults.

  • Provide access to general internists and specialist teams to treat your chronic or acute conditions
  • Ensure you have access to the right physician to address your specific health care needs
