Adult Medicine Specialist

What is adult medicine?

Adult medicine focuses on health concerns and issues unique to adults. It's a wide-ranging field encompassing preventive care, treatment for illnesses, and management of chronic adult health issues such as hypertension and Type 2 diabetes. 

At Abraham’s Mark Comprehensive Wellness Center, Dr. King partners with her patients for the betterment of their whole-body health. She can act as your primary care physician, or as a member of your health care team in combination with your current physician, according to your needs and wishes.

Dr. King combines conventional medicine and scientifically-based complementary therapies to create optimal health solutions with minimal medication and no invasive treatments.

How often do I need physical exams as an adult?

Dr. King recommends annual adult wellness exams. It’s ideal to schedule wellness exams when you’re healthy, so Dr. King can look for early signs of health problems using screenings and advanced testing.
