A doctor focused on you

Brian Wilhite, MD

Internal Medicine

My degree is from the University of Alabama, Birmingham and my areas of expertise are; Diabetes, Hypertension, Thyroid disorders and Hyperlipidemia. While in medical school, I was a member of the AOA medical school honor society and received the Osler award as an intern for the clinical diagnosis competition. I am a member of the American Medical Association, Tuscaloosa Medical Society and the previous DCA Department of Medicine Chair.
I believe that practicing medicine is still an art. Knowing when to intervene, when to test or just observe, when to treat or not treat, and to encourage and motivate, is truly an art form. Each patient is unique as are their social and family tendencies, all of which must be taken into account in the treatment plan. Sometimes taking care of a patient is less about art and more about taking a systematic approach by providing the routine maintenance exams and screenings that promote good health.
