Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Mukherjee:
- What is the difference between an Internal Medicine doctor and a Family Medicine doctor?
- Internal Medicine physicians, or Internists, specialize in the medical care of adults (typically age 18 and older). They have extensive training in diagnosing and managing complex adult illnesses and chronic conditions. Family Medicine physicians, on the other hand, 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. Mukherjee 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.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Mukherjee serves as the central point for your health information, coordinating care with your cardiologist and surgeon. We manage referrals, review specialist reports, and ensure all treatments and medications work together safely and effectively.
- Should I see an Internist for a common illness like a sinus infection?
- Yes, Dr. Mukherjee is well-equipped to diagnose and treat common illnesses like sinus infections. As your primary care provider, she can provide comprehensive care for adults, including acute illnesses.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Mukherjee's practice emphasizes adult wellness and disease prevention, including annual physicals, managing risk factors like high cholesterol and blood pressure, and recommended screenings for adults. A major focus is on preventing illness before it occurs.
- I have a set of confusing symptoms that other doctors haven't been able to diagnose. Can an Internist help?
- Yes, an internist can be very helpful. Internists are highly trained in diagnosing complex medical conditions, often acting as "medical detectives." Dr. Mukherjee is skilled at evaluating a wide range of symptoms, even those that may seem unusual or confusing, to arrive at an accurate 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. Mukherjee, have expertise in geriatrics. This makes them well-suited to manage your health needs as you age.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes. Medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, especially for patients with multiple conditions. Dr. Mukherjee will review all of your prescriptions (even those from specialists) to check for interactions, ensure proper dosing, and simplify your regimen whenever possible.
