Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Jackson:
- 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, on the other hand, 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. Jackson 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.
- Should I see an Internist for a common illness like a sinus infection?
- Yes, an internist like Dr. Jackson is well-suited to treat common illnesses like sinus infections. They are trained to diagnose and manage a wide range of adult health concerns, including acute infections. This is part of their role as a comprehensive primary care provider.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes. Medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, especially for patients with multiple conditions. Dr. Jackson will review all of your prescriptions (even those from specialists) to check for interactions, ensure proper dosing, and simplify your regimen whenever possible.
- 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 you as you age.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Jackson's practice emphasizes preventive care, with a major focus on adult wellness and disease prevention. This includes annual physicals, managing risk factors like high cholesterol and blood pressure, and providing recommended screenings for 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. Jackson can be very helpful. Internists are highly trained to diagnose complex medical conditions, often considered "medical detectives." Dr. Jackson is skilled at evaluating unusual or vague symptoms to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Jackson 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 are safe and effective together.
