- What is the difference between an Internal Medicine doctor and a Family Medicine doctor?
- Internal Medicine physicians, or Internists, specialize in adult healthcare, typically for patients 18 and older. They have extensive training in diagnosing and managing complex adult illnesses and chronic conditions. Family Medicine physicians, in contrast, 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 like heart disease and diabetes is a core strength of Internal Medicine. Dr. Mora 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.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Mora serves as the central coordinator for your care, managing referrals to specialists like your cardiologist or surgeon, reviewing reports, and ensuring all treatments and medications work together safely and effectively.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Mora provides common adult vaccines, including annual flu shots, 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. Mora will review all of your prescriptions (even those from specialists) to check for interactions, ensure proper dosing, and simplify your regimen whenever possible.

- Dr. Mora's practice emphasizes adult wellness and disease prevention, including annual physicals, managing risk factors like high cholesterol and blood pressure, and providing recommended screenings for adults. A major focus is on keeping patients healthy and preventing illness.
- Since you don't treat children, will I need to find a new doctor when I get older?
