Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Lie:
- 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 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 is a core strength of Internal Medicine. Dr. Lie 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 can often help with confusing symptoms. Internists are skilled at diagnosing complex medical conditions and are often called "medical detectives" due to their comprehensive training. Dr. Lie is adept at evaluating unusual or vague symptoms to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Lie 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.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Lie'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.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes. Medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, especially for patients with multiple conditions. Dr. Lie will review all of your prescriptions (even those from specialists) to check for interactions, ensure proper dosing, and simplify your regimen whenever possible.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Lie serves as the central coordinator for your care, managing referrals to specialists like your cardiologist or surgeon. We review all reports and ensure that all treatments and medications work together safely and effectively. We'll also make sure everything is well-communicated with your other doctors.
- 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 specialize in geriatrics, making them well-suited to care for you as you age.
