Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Bethi:
- 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, 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. Bethi 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.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Bethi 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. Bethi's practice emphasizes preventive care as a major focus, including adult wellness and disease prevention. This involves annual physicals, managing risk factors like high cholesterol and blood pressure, and providing recommended screenings for adults.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes, medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, especially for patients with multiple conditions. Dr. Bethi will review all of your prescriptions (even those from specialists) to check for interactions, ensure proper dosing, and simplify your regimen whenever possible.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Bethi serves as the central point for your health information, coordinating care with your cardiologist and surgeon. She 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 issues, often acting as "medical detectives." Dr. Bethi is skilled at evaluating a wide range of symptoms, even those that may seem unusual or confusing, to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- 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 have expertise in geriatrics, making them well-suited to care for you as you age.
