Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Abraham:
- 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. Managing multiple chronic conditions like heart disease and diabetes is a core strength of Internal Medicine. Dr. Abraham 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. Abraham is fully equipped to diagnose and treat common illnesses like sinus infections. As your primary care provider, he can address a wide range of adult health concerns, including acute illnesses.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Abraham serves as the central coordinator for your care, managing referrals to specialists like your cardiologist or surgeon. We review all reports and ensure all treatments and medications work together safely and effectively. We'll make sure everyone is on the same page regarding your health.
- 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. Abraham, have expertise in geriatrics, making them well-suited to care for you as you age.
- 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. Abraham can help. Internists are skilled at diagnosing complex medical conditions, often considered "medical detectives" due to their extensive training. Dr. Abraham is adept at evaluating unusual or vague symptoms to determine the underlying cause.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Abraham's practice emphasizes both treating illness and promoting preventive care. A major focus is adult wellness and disease prevention, including annual physicals, managing risk factors, and providing recommended screenings for 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. Abraham will review all of your prescriptions (even those from specialists) to check for interactions, ensure proper dosing, and simplify your regimen whenever possible.
