Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Clark:
- 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 doctors, 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. Managing multiple chronic conditions is a core strength of internal medicine. Dr. Clark 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, Dr. Clark is fully equipped to diagnose and treat common illnesses like sinus infections. As your primary care provider, she can address a wide range of adult health concerns, including acute illnesses.

- No. Internal medicine covers the entire adult lifespan, and many internists have expertise in geriatrics, making them well-suited to your needs as you age.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes. Medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, especially for patients with multiple conditions. Dr. Clark will review all of your prescriptions (even those from specialists) to check for interactions, ensure proper dosing, and simplify your regimen whenever possible.
