The clinic is part of a multi-specialty organization with more than 1,000 medical providers across 65 specialties and offers coordinated care supported by subspecialists, imaging, laboratory services, patient education, nursing, and administrative staff. Internal Medicine physicians examine adult patients age 18 and older, providing disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and recovery care.

The outpatient schedule is Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and includes new patients and corporate physicals.

Care includes annual physicals, wellness exams, and preventive medicine. The organization describes its clinical environment as enabling physicians to practice at the top of their license and autonomously, with support from a national healthcare organization. It offers an employee experience focused on clinician and patient care, local community, organizational change, performance recognition, and development opportunities. Compensation generally ranges from $237,500 to $384,000, including base pay and bonus, and may vary based on factors such as labor markets, education, work experience, productivity, and performance.
