As an internal medicine specialist, Michael Magpile, MD, provides comprehensive primary care with interests in preventive medicine, geriatrics, and evidence-based treatments and approaches.
Dr. Magpile enjoys working with the senior population and is experienced in working with patients with multiple medical problems. He also works closely with family members and caregivers to coordinate care between multiple providers and specialists.
A teacher at heart, Dr. Magpile seeks to educate and engage his patients. He views the doctor-patient relationship as a partnership where he is able to provide information and treatment options in order for his patients to make informed decisions about their care. He also seeks to treat the whole patient, taking into account the social and emotional aspects, in addition to the physical, for total well-being.
