Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Davidson:
- 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 for patients 18 and older. They have extensive training in diagnosing and managing complex adult illnesses and chronic conditions. Family Medicine physicians, in contrast, 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. Davidson 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.
- 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. Davidson can be very helpful. Internists are highly trained in diagnosing complex medical conditions, often considered "medical detectives." Dr. Davidson is skilled at evaluating vague or unusual symptoms to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Davidson serves as your central point of contact for all your health information. We coordinate care with your other doctors, like your cardiologist or surgeon, to ensure all treatments and medications work together safely and effectively. We manage referrals and review specialist reports to make sure everything is on track.
- 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 life span, and many internists have expertise in geriatrics, making them well-suited to care for older 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. Davidson will review all of your prescriptions (even those from specialists) to check for interactions, ensure proper dosing, and simplify your regimen whenever possible.
- Should I see an Internist for a common illness like a sinus infection?
- Yes, Dr. Davidson is fully equipped to diagnose and treat common illnesses like sinus infections. As your primary care provider, she can effectively manage a wide range of adult health concerns.
