Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Aheron:
- 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, 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. Aheron 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.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Aheron serves as your central point of contact for all your medical care. We coordinate with your other doctors, like your cardiologist or surgeon, to ensure that all treatments and medications work together safely and effectively. We will manage referrals and review reports to keep everyone informed and on the same page.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Aheron's practice emphasizes preventive care as a major focus. A significant part of our work involves adult wellness and disease prevention, including annual physicals, managing risk factors, and providing recommended screenings.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes, medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, and Dr. Aheron will review all of your prescriptions 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, from young adulthood through senior years. Many internists, like Dr. Aheron, have specialized training in geriatrics, ensuring a smooth transition as you age.
- 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. Aheron can be very helpful. Internists are often called "medical detectives" due to their extensive training in diagnosing complex medical issues. Dr. Aheron is skilled at evaluating confusing or unusual symptoms to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Aheron 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.
