Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Cheng:
- 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 receive 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. Managing multiple chronic conditions is a core strength of Internal Medicine. Dr. Cheng 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. Cheng is well-suited to treat common illnesses like sinus infections. They are trained to diagnose and manage a wide range of adult health concerns, including acute illnesses. It's part of their role as a comprehensive 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, and many internists have expertise in geriatrics, making them well-suited to care for you as you age.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Cheng acts as the central coordinator for your care, managing referrals to specialists like your cardiologist or surgeon. They review all reports and ensure that all treatments and medications are compatible and safe. This helps to avoid conflicts and ensures your overall health is optimized.
- 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. Cheng can help. Internists are highly trained in diagnosing complex medical conditions, often acting as "medical detectives" to uncover the root cause of confusing symptoms. Dr. Cheng is skilled at evaluating vague or unusual symptoms to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Cheng 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. Cheng's practice emphasizes preventive care, with a major focus on adult wellness and disease prevention. This includes annual physicals, managing risk factors like high cholesterol and blood pressure, and providing recommended screenings for adults.
