Often referred to as "doctors for adults," internists concentrate on adult healthcare. They have special training in treating complex, simultaneous chronic illnesses that require frequent monitoring such as diabetes, asthma, emphysema, high blood pressure and heart disease.

“Internists are equipped to deal with whatever problem a patient brings -- no matter how common or rare,” said Dr. Yadav. “We take pride in caring for the whole individual, and not just the disease.”

Dr. Yadav founded the Internal Medicine Associates of Jasper and has been a practicing internist in Jasper, since 2004. Dr. Yadav is on staff at Piedmont Mountainside and is also the medical director of Southercare Hospice and Healthfield Home Health Service in Cartersville and Canton, Ga. respectively. Dr. Yadav received his medical degree from Ross University School of Medicine and completed his residency in internal medicine at the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons - The Stamford Hospital Program in Stamford, Conn. He is also board-certified in internal medicine.

Dr. Swart recently joined Internal Medicine Associates of Jasper. Previously she was an urgent care physician at Columbus Regional Urgent Care and an emergency room physician and hospitalist at Medical Center Barbour in Eufaula, Ala. She received her medical degree from the University of North Texas Health Science Center, Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine in Fort Worth, Texas, and completed her residency at Columbus Regional Medical Center in Columbus, Ga. She is board-certified by the American Board of Family Medicine.
