From Vision to Legacy: How Dr. Shahid Masood Built a Patient-Focused Practice That Cares Beyond the Clinic

Internal Medicine and Family Practice was started in 1996 led by Dr. Shahid Masood with the ultimate mission to provide high-quality, patient centered care that improves the health and well-being of patients regardless of the patient’s ability to afford physician’s fees. The practice has grown significantly since then due to the passionate care they provide to the community.
