Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Shahid:
- What is the difference between an Internal Medicine doctor and a Family Medicine doctor?
- Internal Medicine doctors, or Internists, specialize in adult health care, typically for those 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. Shahid 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, from young adulthood through senior years. Many internists, like Dr. Shahid, have expertise in geriatrics, making them well-suited for the health needs of older adults.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Shahid's practice emphasizes preventive care as a major focus, including adult wellness and disease prevention. This includes 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. Shahid 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. Shahid serves as the central point for your health information. He coordinates referrals to specialists, reviews reports, and ensures all treatments and medications work together safely and effectively. He'll make sure everyone involved in your care is on the same page.
- I have a set of confusing symptoms that other doctors haven't been able to diagnose. Can an Internist help?
- Yes, an internist can help. Internists are highly trained in diagnosing complex medical conditions, often considered "medical detectives." Dr. Shahid is skilled at evaluating a wide range of symptoms to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Shahid 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.
