Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Rios:
- What is the difference between an Internal Medicine doctor and a Family Medicine doctor?
- Internal Medicine physicians, or Internists, specialize in adult healthcare (typically age 18 and older).

- Should I see an Internist for a common illness like a sinus infection?
- Yes, Dr. Rios is fully equipped to diagnose and treat common illnesses like sinus infections. As your primary care provider, she can handle a wide range of adult health concerns.
- 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, and many internists have expertise in geriatrics, making them ideal for your care as you age.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Rios provides common adult vaccines, including the annual flu shot, tetanus boosters (Tdap), shingles (Shingrix), and pneumonia (Prevnar/Pneumovax) vaccines. She will review your immunization history and recommend vaccinations based on your age, health status, and CDC guidelines.
- Can you help me manage my medications?

- I have a set of confusing symptoms that other doctors haven't been able to diagnose. Can an Internist help?
- Yes, an internist can often help with complex or confusing symptoms. Internists are highly trained in diagnosing a wide range of conditions, and Dr. Rios is skilled at evaluating unusual symptoms to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
