INTERNAL MEDICINE
Internal medicine physicians are specialists who apply scientific knowledge and clinical expertise to the diagnosis, treatment, and compassionate care of adults across the spectrum from health to complex illness.
At least three of their seven or more years of medical school and postgraduate training are dedicated to learning how to prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases that affect adults. Internists are sometimes referred to as the "doctor's doctor," because they are often called upon to act as consultants to other physicians to help solve puzzling diagnostic problems.
Simply put, internists are Doctors of Internal Medicine. You may see them referred to by several terms, including "internists," "general internists" and "doctors of internal medicine."
Although internists may act as primary care physicians, they are not "family physicians," "family practitioners," or "general practitioners," whose training is not solely concentrated on adults and may include surgery, obstetrics and pediatrics.

COSMETIC INJECTIBLES
The use of cosmetic injectable fillers, also known as soft tissue augmentation, can plump thin lips, enhance shallow facial contours, soften facial creases and wrinkles, or improve the appearance of recessed scars.
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers help to diminish facial lines and restore volume and fullness in the face.
As we age, our faces naturally lose subcutaneous fat. The facial muscles are then working closer to the skin surface, so smile lines and crow’s feet become more apparent.
The facial skin also stretches a bit, adding to this loss of facial volume. Other factors that affect the facial skin include sun exposure, heredity, and lifestyle.
Dermal fillers can be used to:
-
Plump thin lips
-
Enhance shallow contours
-
Soften facial creases and wrinkles
-
Improve the appearance of recessed scars
Dermal fillers can be very helpful in those with early signs of aging, or as a value-added part of facial rejuvenation surgery.

DISEASE MANAGEMENT
Disease management is a system that seeks to manage the chronic conditions of high-risk, high-cost patients as a group. Disease management programs (DMPs) are structured treatment plans that aim to help people better manage their chronic disease and to maintain and improve quality of life. DMPs are also run with the general goal of improving medical treatment in the long term. They are also called “structured treatment programs.
​
The programs include regular doctor's appointments for consultations and medical examinations. Learning more is also a part of the programs, for example in the form of training courses for patients. Dr. Armani follows DMP defined quality standards.
​
DMPs are currently available for people with these chronic diseases:
-
Asthma
-
Chronic-obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
-
Breast cancer
-
Type 1 diabetes
-
Type 2 diabetes
-
Coronary artery disease (CAD), including a module for chronic heart failure
​
Sports Medicine
Sports medicine healthcare providers have special training to restore function to injured patients so they can get moving again as soon as possible. They are experts in preventing illness and injury in active people. Sports medicine healthcare providers do work with professional athletes. But they also treat children and teens involved in sports and adults who exercise for personal fitness. Plus, they treat people who have physically demanding jobs, like construction workers.
​
Sports medicine is not a medical specialty in itself. Most sports medicine healthcare providers like Dr. Armani are certified in internal medicine, emergency medicine, family medicine, or another specialty.

Acute & Urgent Care
Acute care is a branch of secondary health care where a patient receives active but short-term treatment for a severe injury or episode of illness, an urgent medical condition, or during recovery from surgery. In medical terms, care for acute health conditions is the opposite from chronic care or longer-term care.
