Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Edison:
- 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, 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. Edison 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. Edison serves as your central point of contact for all your medical care. We coordinate with your other doctors, such as your cardiologist or surgeon, to ensure all treatments and medications work together safely and effectively. We manage referrals and review specialist reports to maintain a complete picture of your health.
- 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. Edison, have expertise in geriatrics, making them well-suited to care for older adults.
- 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. Edison can help. Internists are skilled at evaluating complex medical issues and are often called "medical detectives" due to their extensive training in diagnosing difficult conditions. Dr. Edison is experienced at assessing vague or unusual symptoms to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Edison's practice emphasizes preventive care as a major focus. We are dedicated to adult wellness and disease prevention, including annual physicals, managing risk factors, and providing recommended screenings.
- Should I see an Internist for a common illness like a sinus infection?
- Yes, an internist like Dr. Edison is well-suited to address a sinus infection. Internists are primary care physicians who can diagnose and treat a wide range of adult illnesses, including common infections. They are equipped to provide comprehensive care for your needs.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes. Medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, especially for patients with multiple conditions. Dr. Edison will review all of your prescriptions (even those from specialists) to check for interactions, ensure proper dosing, and simplify your regimen whenever possible.
