Experience Matters in Internal Medicine

Alabama Internal Medicine has cared for patients in the Birmingham area for more than three decades.

The practice began in 1989, when two established private practices, Eastern Internists and Tilt and Byram, merged to create Alabama Internal Medicine, PC.

Dr. Steven J. Kulback has been a consistent member of Alabama Internal Medicine since its beginning.

Today, Dr. Kulback brings nearly five decades of medical experience to the practice. Current provider information confirms his internal medicine specialty, current Vann Road practice location and approximately 48 years of medical experience.

Nicholas Echemendia, MD joined the practice in 2016, continuing Alabama Internal Medicine’s commitment to comprehensive adult healthcare.

In 2020, Alabama Internal Medicine moved from the St. Vincent’s East hospital campus to our current location in the Trussville area.

Our history is important, but what matters most is what has sustained the practice through those years: we love what we do, and we care about the patients we serve.

I have been a patient of Dr. Kulback for 20+ years. He has provided excellent professional care. When my PSA started to increase he referred me to a urologist & was treated successfully. Later I had 3 surgeries for intestinal surgery and being treated by Dr Pierce at Ala Oncology. Dr Kulback receives records from all of the doctors. Dr Kulback is very professional physician & I am very grateful to him as my physician Thomas be M Mezick

"5 stars all the way for Alabama Internal Medicine, PC and especially for Carrie Cole, PA! I had an appointment recently, and wow, Carrie truly went above and beyond to take care of me. She listened to everything I had to say without rushing, explained things in a way that actually made sense (no confusing doctor-speak), and made sure I felt heard and comfortable the whole time. It's rare to find someone who genuinely cares like that these days, she didn't just check boxes; she went out of her way to make sure I was okay and had what I needed. Super knowledgeable, kind, and just an all-around awesome PA. If you're looking for great care at this practice, ask for Carrie, you won't be disappointed! Thanks again!

This practice and Carrie Cole has changed how I look at personal medical care services. This team and Carrie specifically, are nothing short of top notch. From "bedside manner" to devoting time to my personal health needs, I could not be happier. A++ on all levels. I didn't wait, needs are met, easy to work with.
