Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Cary:
- 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, in contrast, 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, an internist is an excellent choice for managing multiple chronic conditions like heart disease and diabetes. Managing these conditions is a core strength of internal medicine.

- No. Internal medicine covers the full spectrum of adult health, from young adulthood through senior years. Many internists have expertise in geriatrics, making them well-suited to manage the health needs of older adults.
