Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. McCarroll:
- 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 doctors, 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 is a core strength of Internal Medicine. Dr. McCarroll 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.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. McCarroll 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.
- Should I see an Internist for a common illness like a sinus infection?
- Yes, an internist like Dr. McCarroll is well-suited to treat a sinus infection. Internists are primary care physicians who diagnose and treat a wide range of adult illnesses, including common infections. They are equipped to provide comprehensive care for your needs.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. McCarroll'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.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. McCarroll serves as the central point for your care, coordinating with your cardiologist and surgeon. We will manage referrals, review specialist reports, and ensure all treatments and medications work together safely and effectively.
- 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 to senior years. Many internists 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. McCarroll can help. Internists are highly trained in diagnosing complex medical conditions, often considered "medical detectives." Dr. McCarroll is skilled at evaluating unusual symptoms to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
