Dr. Gutierrez is excited about his new community and the opportunity to care for the people of Laredo. Dr. Gutierrez practiced internal medicine in Guadalajara, Mexico for 17 years before moving to North Dakota to complete his family medicine residency. He also served as Chief Resident at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine's Center for Family Medicine and is board-certified in family medicine. While we're certainly impressed with the qualities and knowledge he brings to our medical staff, we think you'll be equally impressed with the level of care he brings to you.

Doctors of internal medicine focus on adult medicine and have had special study and training focusing on the prevention and treatment of adult diseases. At least three of their seven or more years of medical school and postgraduate training are dedicated to learning how to prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases that affect adults. Internists are sometimes referred to as the "doctor's doctor," because they are often called upon to act as consultants to other physicians to help solve puzzling diagnostic problems.
Simply put, internists are Doctors of Internal Medicine. Doctors for Adults.® But you may see them referred to by several terms, including "internists," "general internists" and "doctors of internal medicine." But don't mistake them with "interns," who are doctors in their first year of residency training. Although internists may act as primary care physicians, they are not "family physicians," "family practitioners," or "general practitioners," whose training is not solely concentrated on adults and may include surgery, obstetrics and pediatrics.
