Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Khan:
- What is the difference between an Internal Medicine doctor and a Family Medicine doctor?
- Internal Medicine physicians, or Internists, specialize in adult health care (typically age 18 and older). They have extensive training in diagnosing and managing complex adult illnesses and chronic conditions. Family Medicine physicians, in contrast, provide care for patients of all ages, including children.
- I have multiple chronic conditions, like heart disease and diabetes. Is an Internist a good choice for me?
- Yes, an internist is a great choice. Managing multiple chronic conditions is a core strength of internal medicine. Dr. Khan is an expert in understanding how different adult diseases interact and can coordinate all aspects of your care, including medications and specialist visits, to create a cohesive health plan.
- Should I see an Internist for a common illness like a sinus infection?
- Yes, Dr. Khan is fully equipped to diagnose and treat common illnesses like sinus infections. As your primary care provider, he can handle a wide range of adult health concerns, including acute illnesses.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes. Medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, especially for patients with multiple conditions. Dr. Khan will review all of your prescriptions (even those from specialists) to check for interactions, ensure proper dosing, and simplify your regimen whenever possible.
- I have a set of confusing symptoms that other doctors haven't been able to diagnose. Can an Internist help?
- Yes, an internist like Dr. Khan can certainly help. Internists are highly trained in diagnosing complex medical issues, often considered "medical detectives" due to their extensive diagnostic experience. Dr. Khan is skilled at evaluating vague or unusual symptoms to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Khan's practice emphasizes adult wellness and disease prevention, including annual physicals, managing risk factors, and recommended screenings for various conditions like cancer and osteoporosis.
- Since you don't treat children, will I need to find a new doctor when I get older?
- No. Internal medicine covers the entire adult lifespan, from young adulthood through senior years. Many internists, like Dr. Khan, have expertise in geriatrics, making them well-suited to care for older adults.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Khan provides common adult vaccines, including annual flu shots, tetanus boosters (Tdap), shingles (Shingrix), and pneumonia (Prevnar/Pneumovax) vaccines. He will review your immunization history and recommend vaccinations based on your age, health status, and CDC guidelines.
