Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Madeley:
- 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 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, an internist is a great choice. Managing multiple chronic conditions is a core strength of internal medicine. Dr. Madeley 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.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes. Medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, especially for patients with multiple conditions. Dr. Madeley 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, an internist like Dr. Madeley is well-suited to address common illnesses like sinus infections. They are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of adult health concerns, including acute infections. This is part of their role as your primary care provider.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Madeley 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.
- 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. Madeley can be very helpful. Internists are highly trained in diagnosing complex medical issues, often acting as "medical detectives." Dr. Madeley is skilled at evaluating unusual or vague symptoms to reach an accurate diagnosis.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Madeley and our team are dedicated to both treating illness and promoting preventive care. A major focus of our practice is on adult wellness and disease prevention, including annual physicals, managing risk factors, and providing recommended screenings.
- 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 to senior years. Many internists, like Dr. Madeley, have expertise in geriatrics, making them well-suited to care for older adults.
