Internal Medicine is Dr. Drummond’s primary specialty with an emphasis in hypertension and diabetes.  He believes that there is no greater opportunity, responsibility nor obligation given an individual than that of serving as a physician.  Dr. Drummond believes that it is the physicians responsibility to provide the highest quality of patient care possible, utilizing all resources which are available - technical skills, scientific knowledge and human compassion to obtain the primary objective - determining the prevention and cure of diseases and relieving suffering, whether physical or mental.

Dr. Drummond knows that in order to diagnose the manifestations of illness, he must examine the patient comprehensively for signs of ill health possibly not yet apparent to the patient or of problems, which may lead to ill health.  This requires a very broad orientation, since illness is never limited to one system, or necessarily to a single disease.

The management and cure of individual patients require participation of a variety of trained personnel, which include his medical associates as well as non-medical personnel.  So that his patients benefit through such collaboration, Dr. Drummond guides them through crucial decisions concerning diagnosis and treatment.  Additionally, his relationship and awareness of the techniques, skills and objectives of his colleagues in other fields of medicine is vital in interpreting findings, not as isolated phenomena, but as a total clinical picture, so that the patient benefits from all of the advances of science.

Ultimately, the care of the patient begins with the development of an interpersonal relationship between the patient and his/her physician.  Without trust and confidence, the effectiveness of medical treatment is drastically diminished.
