“Patient comes first”. This is one of BIMC doctors’ motto in practice. Our doctors use all available resources to identify the diagnosis and give proper treatment. In some special cases, BIMC doctors need to consult other doctors, specialists in their field, for definitive treatment. One of them is Dr. Dianwaty, internal medicine specialist.

The term “Internal Medicine” originally comes from the German term Innere Medizin, a discipline popularized in Germany in the late 1800s to describe physicians who combined the science of the laboratory with the care of patients. Many early 20th century American doctors studied medicine in Germany and brought this medical field to the United States. Thus, the name “internal medicine” was adopted. Like many words adopted from other languages, it unfortunately doesn’t exactly fit an English meaning. So, an internal medicine specialist, or also known as internists, does not mean they only deal with the “internal body organs”.

To make it simple, internal medicine doctors are specialists focusing in prevention, diagnosis and treatment in non-surgical adult diseases. Internists, such as Dr. Dianwaty,  are equipped to deal with whatever problem a patient brings — no matter how common or rare, or how simple or complex. They are specially trained to solve puzzling diagnostic problems and can handle severe chronic illnesses and situations where several different illnesses may strike at the same time.

The newest member of the BIMC doctors’ team, Dr. Dianwaty, had her internal medicine education at Makati Medical Center, Phillipines. In addition to her education abroad, this Atma Jaya Universtiy graduate, also attended a one year adaptation program at Universitas Indonesia, Jakarta, One of the finest universities in Indonesia.

Dr. Dian, will be available to discuss the best treatment for diseases such as hypertension, cholesterol problems, thyroid function disorders, diabetes, etc, with you. Do not hesistate to call for an appointment.
