Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Tatineni:
- 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 receive 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. Tatineni 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.
- 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 considered "medical detectives." Dr. Tatineni is skilled at evaluating unusual or vague symptoms to arrive at the right diagnosis.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Tatineni 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.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Tatineni's practice emphasizes preventive care as a major focus, along with treating illness. A significant part of our work involves 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. Tatineni 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 all treatments and medications work together safely and effectively. We manage referrals and review specialist reports to maintain a complete picture of your health.
- 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. Tatineni, have expertise in geriatrics, making them well-suited to care for you as you age.
- Should I see an Internist for a common illness like a sinus infection?
- Yes, an internist like Dr. Tatineni is well-suited to treat common illnesses like sinus infections. Internists are primary care providers for adults and are equipped to diagnose and treat a wide range of acute conditions, including respiratory infections and urinary tract infections.
