Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Calianga:
- 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 and managing complex adult illnesses and 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. Calianga 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.
- Should I see an Internist for a common illness like a sinus infection?
- Yes, an internist like Dr. Calianga is well-suited to treat a sinus infection. Internists are primary care physicians who can diagnose and treat a wide range of common illnesses, including sinus infections, in adults. They are equipped to provide comprehensive care for your overall health.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Calianga's practice emphasizes preventive care as a major focus, including adult wellness and disease prevention. This includes annual physicals, managing risk factors like high cholesterol and blood pressure, and providing recommended screenings for adults.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Calianga coordinates care with your other doctors by serving as the central point for your health information. We manage referrals, review specialist reports, and ensure all treatments and medications work together safely and effectively. This helps us provide comprehensive and well-coordinated care for you.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Calianga 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.
- 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. Calianga, 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 can help. Internists are highly trained in diagnosing complex medical conditions, often acting as "medical detectives" to solve diagnostic puzzles. Dr. Calianga is skilled at evaluating a wide range of symptoms, including vague or unusual ones, to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
