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 healthcare (typically age 18 and older). They have extensive training in diagnosing and managing complex adult illnesses and chronic conditions.

- 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.
- 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. Hoang, have expertise in geriatrics, making them well-suited to care for you as you age.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- 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.
- 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. Hoang can help. Internists are highly trained in diagnosing complex medical issues, often acting as "medical detectives." Dr. Hoang is skilled at evaluating vague 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. Hoang is well-suited to treat a sinus infection. Internists are primary care physicians who can diagnose and manage a wide range of adult illnesses, including common infections. They are equipped to provide comprehensive care for your health needs.
- 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?
