Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Manus:
- What is the difference between an Internal Medicine doctor and a Family Medicine doctor?
- Internal Medicine physicians, or Internists, specialize in adult healthcare, typically for patients 18 and older. They have extensive training in diagnosing complex adult illnesses and managing chronic conditions. Family Medicine physicians, on the other hand, care for patients of all ages, including children.

- Yes, an internist is an excellent choice. Managing multiple chronic conditions is a core strength of internal medicine. Dr. Manus 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. Manus, have expertise in geriatrics, making them ideal for older adults.
- 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. Manus can be very helpful. Internists are highly trained in diagnosing complex medical conditions, often acting as medical detectives. Dr. Manus is skilled at evaluating unusual or vague symptoms to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Manus provides common adult vaccines, including the annual flu shot, tetanus boosters (Tdap), shingles (Shingrix), and pneumonia (Prevnar/Pneumovax) vaccines. He 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. Manus acts as the central coordinator for your care, managing referrals to specialists like your cardiologist or surgeon. We review all reports and ensure that all treatments and medications work together safely and effectively. We will also make sure all your doctors are aware of your complete medical history.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Manus and our practice emphasize preventive care as a major focus. We are dedicated to adult wellness and disease prevention, including annual physicals, management of risk factors, and 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. Manus will review all of your prescriptions (even those from specialists) to check for interactions, ensure proper dosing, and simplify your regimen whenever possible.
