Forsyth Internal Medicine physicians act as both an advocate and coordinator of care; our emphasis is on treating the whole patient. In addition to internal medicine training, some members of our staff have training in pulmonology, rheumatology and cardiology. As needed, our internists can coordinate the activities of other sub-specialists.

Ambulatory Blood Pressure MonitoringAmbulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is a method of taking regular blood pressure readings, usually over a 24-hour period, as patients conduct their normal activities. A special, automatic blood pressure monitor is used, and patients are asked to keep a diary or log of their activities during the day.

Annual PhysicalsA "preventative care" physician visit during which standard health tests are performed, depending on gender and age. Tests may include things such as blood pressure, a breast and/or pelvic exam, prostate exam, cholesterol screening, vaccines or booster shots.

Bone Density Testing (DEXA Scan)A bone density test, or DEXA Scan, is a noninvasive, evaluation procedure that uses x-rays to measure bone mass or the weight of the skeleton. The amount of bone in the skeleton determines how strong it is. Bone densitometry is often used to measure bone mass in the spine, hips and arms, as these are the areas most likely to fracture when bone mass is low.

Contraceptive ManagementProvides information regarding the various forms of contraception and can assist in determining which method is best for you. Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG)An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is one of the simplest and fastest procedures used to evaluate the heart. Electrodes (small, plastic patches) are placed at certain locations on the chest, arms and legs. When the electrodes are connected to an ECG machine by lead wires, the electrical activity of the heart is measured, interpreted and printed out for the physician's information and further interpretation.

Injection TherapyInjection therapy involves using a needle and syringe to relieve pain by injecting medication into a patient's joints, soft tissues or other areas. It typically is used only when less invasive forms of treatment fail to relieve symptoms. Joint Aspirations (Arthrocentesis)A procedure where fluid is drained from a joint and analysis can determine the cause of certain joint pain. Joint Injections (Intra-Articular Injection)A joint injection is a procedure used in the treatment of inflammatory joint conditions.

Osteoporosis TestingOsteoporosis is a disease that causes bones to become more fragile and more likely to break. A bone density test, also called densitometry or DEXA scan, can determine if you have osteoporosis or are at risk of osteoporosis before you break any bones. Pap TestA Pap test (also called Pap smear) involves microscopic examination of cells collected from the cervix, used to detect changes that may be cancer or may lead to cancer, and to show noncancerous conditions, such as infection or inflammation.

Preventive CareMedical and/or dental services aimed at early detection and intervention. Preventive CareMedical and/or dental services aimed at early detection and intervention. Pulmonary Function TestA test designed to measure how well the lungs are working. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) gauge how the lungs are carrying out their tasks -- of expanding and contracting (when a person inhales and exhales) and of exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide efficiently between the air (or other gases) within the lungs and the blood.
