Dr. Vlagopoulos, MD is board certified in Allergy & Immunology and Internal Medicine Dr. Vlagopoulos is an internist, also known as a general internist or a doctor of internal medicine, who is a physician that provides comprehensive care for adults. Internists have a unique role in health care because they can act as primary care physicians, and/or as consultants to other physicians to help solve puzzling diagnostic problems. As primary care physicians, internists can delve into specific conditions, but are also capable of taking a step back and treating the patient holistically. Internists can diagnose and treat simple medical issues (like the common cold) and complex medical issues, such as a person with multiple chronic illnesses. While internists are considered to be primary care physicians, they do not treat children or pregnant women, though they do manage the coordination of care and emphasize preventive medicine.
