Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Modi:
- 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, 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, an internist is an excellent choice. Managing multiple chronic conditions is a core strength of internal medicine. Dr. Modi 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. Modi can definitely help. Internists are highly trained in diagnosing complex medical conditions, often referred to as "medical detectives." Dr. Modi is skilled at evaluating a wide range of symptoms, even those that may seem unusual or confusing, to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Modi's practice emphasizes preventive care as a major focus, alongside treating illness. We focus on adult wellness and disease prevention, including annual physicals, managing risk factors, and providing recommended screenings.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Modi 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. This helps to avoid any potential conflicts or complications.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes, medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, especially for patients with multiple conditions. Dr. Modi 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, and many internists, like Dr. Modi, have expertise in geriatrics, making them ideal for your care as you age.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Modi provides common adult vaccines, including the annual flu shot, 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.
