- 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 for those 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.

- Yes. Medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, especially for patients with multiple conditions. Dr. Gray will review all of your prescriptions (even those from specialists) to check for interactions, ensure proper dosing, and simplify your regimen whenever possible.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Gray provides common adult vaccines such as 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.
- 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. Gray can be very helpful.

Dr. Gray is skilled at evaluating confusing or unusual symptoms to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- Should I see an Internist for a common illness like a sinus infection?
- Yes, an internist like Dr. Gray is well-suited to treat a sinus infection. Internists are primary care physicians who diagnose and manage a wide range of adult illnesses, including common infections. They are equipped to provide comprehensive care for your needs.
- 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. Gray, have expertise in geriatrics, making them well-suited to care for you as you age.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Gray acts as the central coordinator for your care, ensuring all specialists, like your cardiologist and surgeon, are working together effectively.
