Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Yuen:
- What is the difference between an Internal Medicine doctor and a Family Medicine doctor?
- Internal Medicine physicians, 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, 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. Yuen 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. Yuen provides a variety of adult immunizations, 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.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Yuen serves as the central coordinator for your care, managing referrals to specialists like your cardiologist or surgeon. We review all reports and ensure your treatments and medications are safe and effective together. We will communicate regularly with your other doctors to maintain a complete and coordinated 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 have expertise in geriatrics, making them well-suited to care for older adults.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes, medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, especially for patients with multiple conditions. Dr. Yuen 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 can definitely help. Internists are highly trained in diagnosing complex medical conditions, often acting as "medical detectives." Dr. Yuen is skilled at evaluating unusual or vague symptoms to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Yuen's practice emphasizes adult wellness and disease prevention, including annual physicals, managing risk factors, and recommended screenings for cancer, osteoporosis, and other conditions.
