Welcome to the Cowichan Internist Group. It's our mission to ensure that every one of our patients has the tools to reach their full health potential. This website contains a number of resources to assist in the prevention and treatment of internal diseases. Focusing on heart, lung, liver, and glandular conditions, patients can find explanatory videos, links to resources in the Cowichan Valley, and descriptions of common medications and procedures.
Internal medicine doctors, or internists, aim to prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases of the internal organs and systems of the human body. Dedicated to providing primary and speciality care to adults, internists manage acute and chronic illnesses of their patients who have been referred to them by other practitioners. Common internal conditions include COPD (chronic inflammatory pulmonary disease), diabetes, high blood pressure, atrial fibrillation, angina, and steatosis (fatty liver disease).
