Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Bentle:
- 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). 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 an excellent choice. Managing multiple chronic conditions is a core strength of internal medicine. Dr. Bentle is an expert in understanding how different adult diseases interact and can coordinate all aspects of care, including medications and specialist visits, to create a cohesive health plan.
- I have a set of confusing symptoms that other doctors haven't been able to diagnose. Can an Internist help?
- Yes, an internist can definitely help. Internists are highly trained in diagnosing complex medical conditions, often acting as "medical detectives." Dr. Bentle is skilled at evaluating unusual or vague symptoms to arrive at the correct diagnosis.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Bentle serves as your central point of contact for all your medical care. We coordinate with your other doctors, such as your cardiologist or surgeon, to ensure all treatments and medications work together safely and effectively. We manage referrals and review specialist reports to maintain a complete and accurate picture of your health.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Bentle's practice emphasizes preventative care, focusing on adult wellness and disease prevention. This includes annual physicals, managing risk factors like high cholesterol and blood pressure, and providing recommended screenings for adults.
- 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 have expertise in geriatrics, making them ideal for managing the health needs of older adults.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes. Medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, especially for patients with multiple conditions. Dr. Bentle will review all of your prescriptions (even those from specialists) to check for interactions, ensure proper dosing, and simplify your regimen whenever possible.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Bentle 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.
