- 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, 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 a great choice. Managing multiple chronic conditions is a core strength of internal medicine. Dr. Moore is an expert in understanding how different adult diseases interact and can coordinate all aspects of your 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. Moore's practice emphasizes adult wellness and disease prevention, including annual physicals, managing risk factors like high cholesterol and blood pressure, and providing recommended screenings for adults. A major focus is on preventing illness before it occurs.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes. Medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, especially for patients with multiple conditions. Dr. Moore will review all of your prescriptions (even those from specialists) to check for interactions, ensure proper dosing, and simplify your regimen whenever possible.
- Should I see an Internist for a common illness like a sinus infection?
- Yes, Dr. Moore 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.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Moore acts as the central coordinator for your care. We will manage referrals to specialists, review reports, and ensure all treatments and medications work together safely and effectively. This helps to avoid potential conflicts or gaps in your care.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Moore provides various 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.
- Since you don't treat children, will I need to find a new doctor when I get older?
