Our Internal Medicine Service is a shared service, run by Dr. Grace Clark and Dr. Scott Rizzo. Appointments are made with the service and clients will speak to one of the specialists, although both are involved in every case. VSP offers internal medicine services out of our Louisville and Evansville locations; however, advanced procedures (CT, scoping & surgery) and Urgent Care services are only available out of our Louisville hospital. Our specialists have a wide range of knowledge and comfort in diagnosing and managing complex problems.
