Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Hoang:
- 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, an internist is an excellent choice. Managing multiple chronic conditions is a core strength of internal medicine. Dr. Hoang 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.

- Yes. Medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, especially for patients with multiple conditions. Dr. Hoang will review all of your prescriptions (even those from specialists) 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?

- I have a set of confusing symptoms that other doctors haven't been able to diagnose. Can an Internist help?

- Should I see an Internist for a common illness like a sinus infection?
- Yes, an internist like Dr. Hoang 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 infections. This is part of their role as your primary care provider.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Hoang serves as the central point for your care, coordinating with your cardiologist and surgeon. We will manage referrals, review specialist reports, and ensure all treatments and medications work together safely and effectively.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
