Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Kohli:
- 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, 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. Kohli 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. Kohli's practice emphasizes preventive care as a major focus, alongside treating illness. We prioritize adult wellness and disease prevention through annual physicals, management of risk factors like high cholesterol and blood pressure, and recommended screenings for adults, including cancer and osteoporosis.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Kohli serves as the central point for your health information, coordinating care with your cardiologist and surgeon. We manage referrals, review specialist reports, and ensure all treatments and medications work together safely and effectively.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Kohli 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.
- I have a set of confusing symptoms that other doctors haven't been able to diagnose. Can an Internist help?
- Yes, an internist can definitely help with complex or confusing symptoms. Internists are highly trained in diagnosing a wide range of conditions, often considered "medical detectives." Dr. Kohli is skilled at evaluating unusual symptoms to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- 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. Kohli, have expertise in geriatrics, making them well-suited to care for adults of all ages.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes. Medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, especially for patients with multiple conditions. Dr. Kohli will review all of your prescriptions (even those from specialists) to check for interactions, ensure proper dosing, and simplify your regimen whenever possible.
