Hoover Alt MD
"A different kind of practice, a deeper kind of care."
Adult/Internal Medicine

Hoover Alt MD takes care of all of your Family, and takes care of all of YOU!

We have many Internal Medicine services available.   As always, we place emphasis on Health and Wellness, with focus on Annual Physicals for unmasking new problems, Preventive Care to avoid health issues, and Management of Chronic Conditions you may already have.

At this practice, unlike many others, we always work with the patient, and start with a Natural approach to your health.   Beginning with nutrition and supplements, and then going to prescription drugs to manage your conditions, is our method.   If your problem requires such intervention, we do minor surgical procedures as well.

Of course, we treat infections/illnesses such as colds, Flu, sinus infections, bronchitis, etc.   We can always get you a same-day appointment for sick visits or injuries.   Calling ahead will minimize your wait time.

Below are just some of the chronic conditions we frequently treat:

  • Angina (chest pain)
  • Asthma
  • COPD (chronic Bronchitis, Emphysema)
  • Diabetes Mellitus (High Blood Sugar)
  • GERD (reflux, heartburn)
  • Heart Disease and Congestive Heart Failure
  • Hyperlipidemia (Bad Cholesterols)
  • Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome
