 About Our Practice What is Pediatrics? Pediatricians are child health experts. Children have different health care needs than adults - both medical and emotional. In choosing a pediatrician, you can know that your child is being treated by an expert in children's health. Pediatricians are trained to prevent and manage health problems in infants, children, teens, and young adults. Older patients trust their pediatrician, because they have known one another for many years. What is Internal Medicine?
Doctors of internal medicine ("internists") focus on adult medicine. They care for their patients for life — from teen years through old age. Internists have special training that focuses on the prevention and treatment of adult diseases. In today's complex medical environment, internists take pride in caring for their patients for life -- in the office or clinic, during hospitalization and intensive care, and in nursing homes. When other medical specialists, such as surgeons or obstetricians, are involved, they coordinate their patient's care and manage difficult medical problems associated with that care. Internal Medicine and Pediatrics Our unique dual board specialty allows our physicians to care for a wide variety of patients, from premature infants, toddlers, children, adults, and seniors. This allows us also to care for your entire family while keeping your health and family needs all under the same roof. | | San Jose Pediatrician Dr. Kenneth Lin, MD
