About Us
New Tampa Medical Center was established in 2000 and has been serving the Tampa community as a full general internal medicine practice. Our medical providers are certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and deliver a personal level of comprehensive health care with an emphasis on prevention services including the early detection and treatment of medical disorders such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity.
We are experts in the initial evaluation of symptoms and health concerns. After careful assessment in our office, diagnostic tests are arranged and interpreted and, if needed, we will refer to the appropriate specialist. We will discuss and oversee treatment and provide consistent care. Patients with chronic disease require careful monitoring at regular intervals. We are familiar with the latest developments and will provide you with the most up-to-date care management plan available.
We provide each patient direct online access to the practice through the use of our patient portal. Patients have the ability to review their medical records including lab results. In addition, patients can securely communicate directly with the doctor and staff, request medication refills, make payments, and schedule appointments.
We are accepting new patients and if you need an appointment please call 813-615-2488. We accept most major insurances.
