Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Garza:
- 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 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 is a core strength of Internal Medicine. Dr. Garza 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, an internist like Dr. Garza is well-suited to treat common illnesses like sinus infections. They are trained to diagnose and manage a wide range of adult health concerns, including acute illnesses. This is part of their role as a comprehensive primary care physician.
- 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. Garza can be very helpful. Internists are skilled at diagnosing complex medical issues, often considered "medical detectives" due to their extensive training. Dr. Garza is experienced at evaluating unusual or vague symptoms to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Garza's practice emphasizes preventive care as a major focus, including adult wellness and disease prevention. This includes annual physicals, managing risk factors, and providing recommended screenings for adults.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Garza 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.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Garza serves as your central point of contact, coordinating care with your cardiologist and surgeon. We will manage referrals, review specialist reports, and ensure all treatments and medications work together safely and effectively.
- Since you don't treat children, will I need to find a new doctor when I get older?
