Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Hendrick:
- 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, on the other hand, 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, an internist is a great choice. Managing multiple chronic conditions is a core strength of internal medicine. Dr. Hendrick 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. Hendrick is well-suited to treat common illnesses like sinus infections. They are experienced in diagnosing and managing a wide range of adult health concerns, including respiratory infections and urinary tract infections. This is part of their role as your primary care provider.
- 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 through senior years. Many internists, like Dr. Hendrick, 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. Hendrick's practice emphasizes adult wellness and disease prevention. A major focus is on annual physicals, managing risk factors, and providing recommended screenings for adults. This includes preventing illness through proactive care.
- 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. Internists are highly trained in diagnosing complex medical conditions, often considered "medical detectives." Dr. Hendrick is skilled at evaluating vague or unusual symptoms to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Hendrick provides common adult vaccines, including annual flu shots, tetanus boosters (Tdap), shingles (Shingrix), and pneumonia (Prevnar/Pneumovax) vaccines. He 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. Hendrick coordinates care with your other doctors, acting as the central point for your health information. They will manage referrals, review specialist reports, and ensure all treatments and medications work together safely and effectively.
