- What is the difference between an Internal Medicine doctor and a Family Medicine doctor?
- Internal Medicine physicians, or Internists, specialize in adult healthcare, typically for patients 18 and older.

Dr. Mankey 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.
- 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. Mankey, have specialized training in geriatrics. This makes them well-suited to care for you throughout your adult life.

- Should I see an Internist for a common illness like a sinus infection?
- Yes, an internist like Dr. Mankey is well-suited to address a sinus infection. Internists are primary care physicians who can diagnose and treat a wide range of common adult illnesses, including respiratory infections. They are equipped to provide comprehensive care for adults.
- I have a set of confusing symptoms that other doctors haven't been able to diagnose. Can an Internist help?
