Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Rodgers:
- 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, on the other hand, 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. Rodgers 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.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Rodgers serves as the central point for your health information, coordinating care with your cardiologist and surgeon. We manage referrals, review specialist reports, and ensure all treatments and medications work together safely and effectively.
- Should I see an Internist for a common illness like a sinus infection?
- Yes, Dr. Rodgers is fully equipped to diagnose and treat common illnesses like sinus infections. As your primary care provider, she can handle a wide range of adult health concerns, including acute infections.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Rodgers' practice emphasizes adult wellness and disease prevention, including annual physicals and management of risk factors like high cholesterol and blood pressure. We also provide recommended screenings for adults to detect potential health issues early.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Rodgers provides various adult immunizations, including annual flu shots, 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.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes, medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, especially for patients with multiple conditions. Dr. Rodgers 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?
- No. Internal medicine covers the entire adult lifespan, from young adulthood to senior years. Many internists, like Dr. Rodgers, have expertise in geriatrics, making them well-suited to care for older adults.
