Gaylord’s treating teams are led by physicians who are responsible for patient care. Gaylord physicians include:
- Hospitalists - Physicians who specialize in internal medicine. They focus on adult medicine and are dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Internal medicine physicians (or internists) are referred to as the “doctor’s doctor,” because they often serve as consultants to other physicians in diagnosing health problems from the simple to the complex.
- Pulmonologists - Physicians who possess knowledge and skill in the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary (lung) conditions and diseases.
- Physiatrists - Physicians who specialize in physical medicine and rehabilitation. They deal with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disability caused by acute or chronic disease or injury.
