Hospitalists are physicians that focus all of their attention and care on patients while they are hospitalized. They work closely with your primary care physician and any specialist involved with your overall medical care. A Hospitalist will follow up on all of your diagnostic studies during your stay in the hospital and provide treatment in accordance with your medical needs. Since our Hospitalists work only within the hospital, they are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, assuring you of quality care on a timely basis that allows you a quicker response to your concerns and questions. Our Doctors are not meant to replace your physician, but instead are an extension of his/her office working at all times in conjunction with your physician to ensure that you receive the best care available during your hospital stay. Once you are discharged you will return to your primary care physician for treatment as normal. We place high priority on quality patient care.
