About Us

At Internal Medicine & Geriatrics, we’ve been proudly serving the Portage, IN community since 1987. As a locally owned clinic, we specialize in internal medicine and geriatric care, offering treatments for a wide range of conditions including memory loss, diabetes, cancer, arthritis, high blood pressure, kidney disease, and more. Our mission is simple: to provide thoughtful, personalized care that helps our patients live healthier, more independent lives.

What sets us apart is the relationship we build with our patients. We take the time to listen, understand their concerns, and tailor treatments to meet their individual needs. Many of our patients have been with us for years—some for decades—and we consider that the greatest compliment. Whether you're coming in for a routine checkup or managing a chronic condition, you’ll be treated with compassion, respect, and the highest level of medical expertise.
