Raquel Prol, DO

I am an internal medicine physician at Memorial Healthcare System. I care for patients with a variety of illnesses and provide preventive care. Some of the most common conditions I treat include hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, chronic kidney disease, obesity, depression, thyroid disease and infections (skin/soft tissue, upper respiratory, urinary, etc.).

A big part of my focus is on preventive medicine and ensuring that patients have health screenings that help to catch any concerns early on.

I have always admired physicians and chose to pursue a career in medicine because it combines all things I love: leadership, dedication, science, medicine, critical thinking and direct patient care. Internal medicine also allows me to treat patients with a variety of conditions and focus on each patient as a whole person.

To care for others, you must see them as total beings and not just a diagnosis. I build relationships with my patients and want them to feel comfortable and confident in coming to me for help. My goal is always to provide excellent care that meets their specific needs.

As chief internal medicine resident, I am also involved in resident education and love sharing my knowledge and experience with others as they pursue their career in medicine.
