I have reviewed this medical practice several times and I have nothing to change. I just like being treated by Dr. J Ros. He has great ‘bedside’ manner with office visits. He knows how to treat any problem I have brought to him. He never hesitates to refer me to a specialist if he feels I would benefit more. He is very reassuring and I leave there feeling someone does care!

Here at Coastal Carolina Internal Medicine PA, we have great empathy for our patients. We have an open ear about anything that you are worried about regarding your health.
The timeline for improvement in symptoms varies according to the patient. When we are treating a patient for diabetes management, we discuss obesity and weight loss and educate patients on symptom-prevention tactics.
When you come in for a consultation, we will discuss your symptoms and discuss what we can do to help you feel better. We take most insurance, but because every patient may have a unique set of diabetic symptoms, we will need to do a thorough evaluation. Then we can discuss the best strategies for helping you before we can determine the cost of the treatment.
