"Newport Beach Medical Associates is an Internal Medicine Group that was founded in 1996 by James Berman, M.D., Atef Khouzam, M.D. and the late Robert Stein, M.D. The physicians of NBMA are on the medical staff of Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian.
NBMA physicians are internists, specialists in adult medicine. They are all board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine, and have diverse backgrounds, excellent academic credentials, and extensive experience in the practice of medicine. Many of our physicians have been involved in leadership positions at Hoag Hospital and have served on several medical staff committees.
As internists, NBMA physicians often deal with chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol, and hypertension, and are also skilled in management of other serious medical diseases involving heart disease, stroke, cancer, lung disorders, gastrointestinal problems, infectious diseases, and various other conditions."
