Internal Medicine - Mercy Medical Group - Cameron Park, CA

Family medicine providers see patients of every age for routine checkups, preventive care and treatment for common illnesses and ongoing conditions. They can also help coordinate care over time, including providing referrals and follow-up care when needed.

At Internal Medicine – Mercy Medical Group in Cameron, we support patients with chronic illnesses, helping them navigate their care journey and ease transitions between care stages. We also provide ongoing care after major surgery or procedures.

A primary care provider (PCP) is a health care professional you see for many health concerns. PCPs include family medicine doctors and advanced practice providers (APPs), such as nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs).

Internal medicine providers, also known as internists, are also primary care providers. They offer comprehensive care similar to a PCP and can also assist with managing your recovery after surgery. Internists often serve as a PCP for many adults aged 18 and older. 

An advanced practice provider (APP) is a health care professional who has advanced education and clinical training, allowing them to take on a broader scope of practice and perform tasks traditionally carried out by physicians. This category includes nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), certified nurse midwives (CNMs) and clinical nurse specialists (CNSs).

These professionals play a crucial role in providing health care services, including diagnosing and treating medical conditions, prescribing medications and offering preventive care. APPs are essential members of health care teams, contributing to the delivery of comprehensive and accessible patient care.
