Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Khan:
- 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, an internist is an excellent choice. Managing multiple chronic conditions is a core strength of internal medicine. Dr. Khan 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.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes. Medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, especially for patients with multiple conditions. Dr. Khan will review all of your prescriptions (even those from specialists) to check for interactions, ensure proper dosing, and simplify your regimen whenever possible.
- 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. Khan can help. Internists are skilled at diagnosing complex medical issues, often considered "medical detectives" due to their comprehensive training. Dr. Khan is adept at evaluating unusual or vague symptoms to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- Should I see an Internist for a common illness like a sinus infection?
- Yes, an internist like Dr. Khan is well-suited to treat a sinus infection. Internists are primary care physicians for adults and are trained to diagnose and manage a wide range of common illnesses, including sinus infections. They can provide comprehensive care for your needs.
- 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. Khan, have expertise in geriatrics, making them well-suited for your care as you age.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Khan serves as the central point for your health information, coordinating care with your cardiologist and surgeon. We will 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. Khan provides common adult vaccines, including the annual flu shot, tetanus boosters (Tdap), shingles (Shingrix), and pneumonia (Prevnar/Pneumovax) vaccines. He will review your immunization history and recommend vaccinations based on your age, health status, and CDC guidelines.
