Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Mehta:
- What is the difference between an Internal Medicine doctor and a Family Medicine doctor?
- Internal Medicine doctors, or Internists, specialize in adult health care (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. Mehta 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.
- 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. Mehta can be very helpful. Internists are highly trained in diagnosing complex medical conditions, often acting as "medical detectives." Dr. Mehta is skilled at evaluating 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. Mehta's practice emphasizes both treating illness and promoting preventive care. A major focus is 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. Mehta serves as your central point of contact for all your medical care. We coordinate with your other doctors, like your cardiologist or surgeon, to ensure all treatments and medications work together safely and effectively. We will manage referrals and review reports to maintain a complete picture of your health.
- Should I see an Internist for a common illness like a sinus infection?
- Yes, Dr. Mehta is an excellent choice for a sinus infection. Internists are primary care physicians who can diagnose and treat a wide range of common illnesses, including sinus infections. They are equipped to provide comprehensive care for adults.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Mehta provides common adult vaccines, including annual flu shots, 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.
- 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. Mehta, have expertise in geriatrics, making them well-suited to care for you as you age.
