Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Wilder:
- 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 for those 18 and older. They have 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 like heart disease and diabetes is a core strength of Internal Medicine. Dr. Wilder 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.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Wilder provides common adult vaccines such as 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. Wilder's practice emphasizes preventive care as a major focus, including adult wellness and disease prevention. This involves annual physicals, management of risk factors like high cholesterol and blood pressure, and recommended screenings for adults.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes, medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, and Dr. Wilder will review all of your prescriptions 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. Wilder serves as the central point for your care, coordinating with your cardiologist and surgeon. We will manage referrals, review specialist reports, and ensure all treatments and medications work together safely and effectively.
- 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. Wilder can be a valuable asset in diagnosing complex or unusual symptoms. Internists are often called "medical detectives" due to their extensive training in identifying the root cause of various conditions. Dr. Wilder is skilled at evaluating vague or unusual symptoms to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- 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. Wilder, have expertise in geriatrics, making them well-suited to care for you as you age.
