Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Albert:
- What is the difference between an Internal Medicine doctor and a Family Medicine doctor?
- Internal Medicine physicians, or Internists, specialize in the care of adults (typically age 18 and older). They have extensive training in diagnosing and managing complex adult illnesses and chronic conditions. Family Medicine physicians, in contrast, 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. Managing multiple chronic conditions like heart disease and diabetes is a core strength of Internal Medicine. Dr. Albert 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.
- 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, like Dr. Albert, have expertise in geriatrics, making them well-suited for your care 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. Albert will review all of your prescriptions (even those from specialists) to check for interactions, ensure proper dosing, and simplify your regimen whenever possible.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Albert's practice emphasizes both treating illness and promoting preventive care. A major focus is adult wellness and disease prevention, including annual physicals, managing risk factors, and providing recommended screenings.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Albert serves as the central point for your health information, coordinating care with your cardiologist and surgeon. He will manage referrals, review specialist reports, and ensure all treatments and medications work together safely and effectively.
- I have a set of confusing symptoms that other doctors haven't been able to diagnose. Can an Internist help?
- Yes, an internist can definitely help. Internists are highly trained in diagnosing complex medical conditions, often acting as "medical detectives." Dr. Albert is skilled at evaluating a wide range of symptoms, even unusual ones, to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Albert provides common adult vaccines, including the annual flu shot, tetanus boosters (Tdap), shingles (Shingrix), and pneumonia (Prevnar/Pneumovax) vaccines. He will review your immunization history and recommend vaccinations based on your age, health status, and CDC guidelines.
