Internal medicine is the medicine that deals with disorders of inter-body structures in adults. A doctor of internal medicine, also called an “internist," is unique in his/her focus on adult medicine. Internists spend all their time diagnosing and treating adults. A patient goes to an internist with a specific problem or for a checkup. Internist should not be confused with an “intern,” who is a doctor in his first year of training after medical school.
Drs. Amer and Sean Shahla
are committed to providing high-quality care to all patients. We strongly believe in the continuity of care and therefore provide our patients with one-on-one treatment. The patient will see his/her own doctor in the office, hospital, and skilled nursing facility if needed. We partner with our patients and their insurer to provide cost-effective and evidence-based medical care, guiding our patients through the maze of the health care system to make sure they are getting the right care.
We opened our main office in 1997 in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. To better serve our patients in the Southside area, we opened a branch office in the Samuel Wells Complex located behind Memorial Hospital.
