Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Clybourn:
- 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, 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. Clybourn 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 like Dr. Clybourn can be very helpful. Internists are highly trained in diagnosing complex medical conditions, often acting as "medical detectives" to uncover the source of unusual or confusing symptoms. Dr. Clybourn is skilled at evaluating a wide range of symptoms to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes. Medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, especially for patients with multiple conditions. Dr. Clybourn will review all of your prescriptions (even those from specialists) to check for interactions, ensure proper dosing, and simplify your regimen whenever possible.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Clybourn 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.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Clybourn 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. This helps us provide comprehensive and well-coordinated care.
- 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, from young adulthood to senior years. Many internists have expertise in geriatrics, making them well-suited to care for older adults.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Clybourn's practice emphasizes preventative care as a major focus. We are dedicated to adult wellness and disease prevention, including annual physicals, managing risk factors, and providing recommended screenings.
