Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Shroff:
- 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 receive extensive training in diagnosing complex adult illnesses and managing 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, an internist is an excellent choice. Managing multiple chronic conditions is a core strength of internal medicine. Dr. Shroff 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.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Shroff's practice emphasizes preventive care as a major focus, including adult wellness and disease prevention. This includes annual physicals, managing risk factors like high cholesterol and blood pressure, and providing recommended screenings for adults.
- 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, from young adulthood to senior years. Many internists, like Dr. Shroff, have expertise in geriatrics, making them well-suited to care for older adults.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Shroff serves as your central point of contact for all your medical care.

- Dr. Shroff provides common adult vaccines, 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.
- Should I see an Internist for a common illness like a sinus infection?
- Yes, Dr. Shroff is well-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 infections.
- 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. Shroff can be very helpful.
