Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Nezhad:
- 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. Family Medicine physicians, on the other hand, 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. Nezhad 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. Nezhad 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.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Nezhad's practice emphasizes adult wellness and disease prevention, including annual physicals, management of risk factors like high cholesterol and blood pressure, and recommended screenings for cancer and osteoporosis.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes. Medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, especially for patients with multiple conditions. Dr. Nezhad 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. Nezhad serves as your central point of contact for all your health information. We coordinate care with your cardiologist and surgeon, managing referrals, reviewing reports, and ensuring all treatments and medications are safe and effective together. This ensures a comprehensive and coordinated approach to your care.
- 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 medical detectives, skilled at diagnosing complex conditions. Dr. Nezhad is adept at evaluating unusual or vague symptoms to pinpoint the underlying cause.
- 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. Nezhad, have expertise in geriatrics. This means you'll have a trusted doctor for all your adult health needs.
