Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Kapadia:
- 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 patients 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. Kapadia 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.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Kapadia's practice emphasizes preventative care as a major focus, including adult wellness and disease prevention. This includes annual physicals, management of risk factors like high cholesterol and blood pressure, and recommended screenings for adults, such as cancer and osteoporosis screenings.
- I have a set of confusing symptoms that other doctors haven't been able to diagnose. Can an Internist help?
- Yes, an internist can absolutely help. Internists are highly trained in diagnosing complex medical conditions, often acting as "medical detectives." Dr. Kapadia is skilled at evaluating unusual or vague symptoms to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Kapadia 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.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes. Medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, especially for patients with multiple conditions. Dr. Kapadia will review all of your prescriptions (even those from specialists) to check for interactions, ensure proper dosing, and simplify your regimen whenever possible.
- 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. Kapadia, 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. Kapadia serves as your central point of contact for all your health information. We coordinate care with your other doctors, like your cardiologist or surgeon, by managing referrals, reviewing specialist reports, and ensuring all treatments and medications are safe and effective together.
