Men’s Health
At Alpharetta and Cumming Internal Medicine, we are committed to educating men about health issues like heart disease, cancer, stroke and much more. Men of all ages should have routine physical examinations; however, many men wait to seek routine care until they are in their 40s. While there may be many individual reasons for this, men are generally reluctant to see their physician routinely.
Many of the top 10 causes of death and disability can be prevented or delayed with early diagnosis and treatment. Likewise, many of the physical changes that occur as men age can also be addressed with early diagnosis and treatment. By establishing a relationship with a provider at Alpharetta and Cumming internal Medicine now, the signs and symptoms of various conditions can be managed as they occur.

- Heart Disease
- Cancer
- Unintentional injuries
- Stroke
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Diabetes

- Suicide
