Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Domask:
- 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 receive extensive training in diagnosing complex adult illnesses and managing chronic conditions. Family Medicine physicians, on the other hand, 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. Managing multiple chronic conditions is a core strength of Internal Medicine. Dr. Domask 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 like Dr. Domask can be very helpful. Internists are skilled at diagnosing complex medical issues and are often called "medical detectives" due to their extensive training. Dr. Domask is adept at evaluating unusual symptoms and arriving at a precise diagnosis.
- 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, like Dr. Domask, have expertise in geriatrics. This means you won't need a new doctor as you age.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Domask 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?
- Yes. Medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, especially for patients with multiple conditions. Dr. Domask will review all of your prescriptions (even those from specialists) to check for interactions, ensure proper dosing, and simplify your regimen whenever possible.
- Should I see an Internist for a common illness like a sinus infection?
- Yes, an internist like Dr. Domask is well-suited to treat common illnesses like sinus infections. They are trained to diagnose and manage a wide range of adult health concerns, including respiratory infections and urinary tract infections. This is part of their role as a comprehensive primary care provider.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Domask's practice emphasizes adult wellness and disease prevention. A major focus is on annual physicals, managing risk factors like high cholesterol and blood pressure, and providing recommended screenings for adults. This proactive approach helps maintain overall health and well-being.
