Board-certified in the field of internal medicine, Dr. Fuchs specializes in       caring for adults. In contrast to general practitioners and physicians in    family practice—both of whom treat patients of all ages—an internist      focuses specifically on adult health issues. As the physician responsible        for overseeing his patients' total care, he acts as the “quarterback,” collaborating with—and making referrals to—a wide network of specialists     to address your broader health issues.
