Josh Becker, MD
My specialties:
- Internal medicine
Professional interests:
- Primary Health Care
- Point of care (bedside) ultrasound
- Preventative medicine
- Preoperative medicine
- Evidence-Based Medicine
- Diabetes care
- Hypertension care
- Virtual visits
I offer face-to-face virtual visits for a variety of health services and conditions. I work with patients in the clinic and hospital settings and enjoy both aspects of medical care. I also have a special interest in using ultrasound at the bedside as a tool for an in depth physical exam. I am active in researching how this tool can best be used in primary care and in the hospital. Finally, I also work in the Abbott Northwestern preoperative clinic, which specializes in preparing patients for their surgery.
The best part of my work is establishing long-term relationships with my patients and getting to know not just their medical problems, but also who they are and what drives them. I enjoy my job most when a patient and I figure out how to navigate through a complex problem together. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my two amazing daughters.
