Over 75 years ago, Beaumont Internal Medicine & Geriatric Associates was founded as one of the first internal medicine practices in Beaumont. In 1983, Dr. George Thomas joined the practice with the mission to provide compassionate, personalized medical care, while enhancing the overall quality and effectiveness of healthcare. Since our founding, we have always strived to foster excellence and professionalism in the practice of medicine. Read a little about our board-certified physicians below.
