Downtown Medical is Downtown Saint Louis' INTERNAL MEDICINE PRACTICE.

Get the general medical care you need, when you need it, to help treat colds, the flu, allergies, upset stomach, and more. At Downtown Medical, we offer prompt treatment and courteous quality care to help you get back to your regular routine as quickly as possible. Our board-certified emergency medicine and family practice physicians serve Downtown, Soulard, Lafayette Square, Central West End, South and North City and other surrounding St. Louis and Southern Illinois communities. Because many of our patients work Downtown, yet live an hour away, they find it more convenient to make us their 'medical home'.

Downtown Medical (or DM) was established in early 2009, after considerable demand from patients at Downtown Urgent Care. They were coming to the urgent care chiefly because of the convenient location (close to work) and so either had no internist, or had not been able to see their internist for months, sometimes even years.

The lack of ongoing preventive medical care is risky, both in terms of neglecting your health, as well as a waste of the insurance premiums you're paying. Why do you keep health insurance, if you're not going to maintain your health, and allow your blood pressure, your blood sugar, your cholesterol profile to get out of control?

Dr. Sonny Saggar, who created Downtown Urgent Care, is board certified in both Emergency Medicine and Internal Medicine. As he was very often the physician who treated the DUC patients, he decided it was time to seriously address the demand for onoing Primary Medical Care, and Preventive Medicine, for the professional discerning population that works and lives in the Downtown area.

There are almost 13,000 people who now call Downtown Saint Louis home, and there are over 95,000 people who work Downtown. Both these numbers have been growing at rapid rates over the past 11 years, especially with all the new attractions, services, events and happenings in the area. The business and residential community in Downtown Saint Louis has worked closely to create a desirable place to work and live, and of which we can all be proud.

Downtown Medical is 'in-network' with all the major insurers; if we're not in network with yours, contact them about it and they'll make it happen. We will also administer preventive treatment, such as vaccines, and these are typically covered by your insurance provider.

We will perform a meticulous history and exam, and address every single medical concern you may have, as thoroughly as possible. We want you to experience good medical care, the way it's supposed to be done. Of course, we'll ensure you get your routine testing (things like stress tests, colonoscopies and cholesterol panels), but we'll always make sure you feel we are easily accessible, and available to communicate with you, whether it's face-to-face, on the phone or even by email or text! We treat all our patients like family, and we firmly stand by this commitment.
