are equipped to address common adult illness and preventive care as well
as solving difficult, chronic or multiple diagnostic problems. They do
not deliver babies, treat children or perform surgery. At the Alexandria
Clinic, our Internal Medicine Department provides testing that includes
echocardiography, gastroscopy, colonoscopy, Holter monitoring and
