Physicians Regional Healthcare System is excited to welcome Walter Bigit Milla, MD, to their medical staff. Dr. Bigit Milla joins a highly skilled team of internal medicine specialists including Leonard Glaser, M.D., Michael Ianniello, D.O., Manuel Jimenez Rodriguez, M.D., Betty Kupracz, M.D., and James Maciejewski, M.D.
Internal medicine doctors, also known as internists, focus on prevention and treatment of conditions and diseases in adults. Physicians Regional Medical Group’s internists are trained in adult medicine and care for adults with a wide range of health concerns, from common illnesses to complex, chronic medical problems.
They work to solve difficult diagnostic challenges and can manage care for severe chronic conditions or in situations where multiple illnesses are involved.
In most cases, your internist assumes the role of primary care physician and coordinates your care with other specialists as needed to provide quality care. Whether it’s facilitating appropriate screenings, providing information on leading a healthy lifestyle or managing chronic disease, your internist serves as your personal health advocate.
Internists provide a range of services, including:
• Care for common problems of the ears, eyes, skin, and nervous and reproductive systems
• Diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic diseases, including arthritis, asthma, diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure
• Immunizations
• Inpatient and outpatient care for diseases
• Care of minor injuries
• Preventive care, including physical exams and
well-woman exams
• Sports physical exams
• Senior care services
• Pre- and post-operative consultations

“I am fluent in English and Spanish, which is my first language,” said Dr. Bigit Milla. “I was born in Guatemala and grew up in El Salvador, where I lived until I graduated from Medical School. I lived through a civil war during most of my childhood and experienced several hardships, which have guided how I look at life.”
A glass-half-full kind of guy, Dr. Bigit Milla’s patients appreciate his time spent listening to them and asking pertinent questions regarding their present situation. “I like to include a positive attitude to the visit and portray that to my patients. I want to create a transparent doctor/patient relationship that can lead to respect and understanding.”
