Knowledgeable Healthcare Services in Hammond, LA
The physicians at the Internal Medicine Clinic of Tangipahoa are board-certified and specialize in the care of adult patients with a variety of symptoms and issues. IMCT also has nurse practitioners who assist our patients with managing ongoing medical issues.
Total Healthcare for Adult Patients
IMCT provides total healthcare for adult patients, including treatment for chronic, long-term, complicated medical problems and short-term illnesses. As your primary care physician, we provide personal care and services to help ensure a healthy life.
We treat a wide variety of medical illnesses, including diagnosis and treatment of diseases involving all systems of the body. This includes but is not limited to heart disease, hypertension, pulmonary diseases, gastrointestinal illnesses, diabetes, thyroid disease, kidney disease, and arthritis, to mention a few. We also offer podiatric care. As Internists, we offer full-spectrum primary care for our patients, emphasizing wellness and prevention, as well as treatment when patients are ill, including hospital care.
Preventive Healthcare Services
Preventive care refers to measures taken to prevent diseases and reduce your risk of developing a specific illness rather than treating their symptoms once the disease develops. We offer a full array of preventive healthcare services, including regularly scheduled screening for chronic medical problems. Regular screenings include physicals, prostate exams, blood tests, ultrasound screening for carotid artery disease, peripheral vascular disease (PAD), and aortic aneurysms.
Hospital Care
We provide hospital care to our patients (including Intensive Care/Critical Care services) for acute and chronic medical illnesses – meaning that we will follow you and direct your care while hospitalized, even if you are seeing a specialist. We believe it is essential for us as your primary care physician to continue your care during a hospital stay. We will not relinquish your care to another physician unfamiliar with you or your medical history when you are hospitalized. After building a patient/doctor relationship with you, we want to serve you in your times of greatest need and feel it is our responsibility to follow you throughout your hospital course. When you return to the office for follow-up, you can be assured we are familiar with every detail of your hospitalization.
Podiatric Services
Podiatric medical services offered at IMCT are geared towards the treatment of adults and pediatrics for any issue persisting in the foot and ankle. We offer treatment for a wide variety of foot and ankle conditions including, but not limited to, management of diabetic issues, sports-related injuries, plantar fasciitis, dermatologic issues, ingrown toenails, bunion and hammertoe deformities, fractures, and traumatic injuries.
We can provide in-office x-ray examinations in which our Podiatrist individually reads and reviews the results with each patient. We provide comprehensive wound care management in our office, including Dermagraft. People with diabetes are encouraged to engage in a routine follow-up program to ensure no problems arise. In the event a problem is present, it can be managed efficiently. Our office can also supply custom-made orthotics.
Our Podiatrist offers extensive preoperative surgical care and postoperative surgical care. Our Podiatrist works hand in hand with our Internist, when necessary, whether outpatient or inpatient, to ensure the best possible outcome for the patient. As your family's center for Podiatric Medicine, we strive to keep your feet healthy and you on the move.
