Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Wade:
- 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 age 18 and older). They have extensive training in diagnosing and managing complex adult illnesses and chronic conditions. Family Medicine doctors, 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. Wade 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. Wade will review all of your prescriptions (even those from specialists) to check for interactions, ensure proper dosing, and simplify your regimen whenever possible.

- Yes, an internist like Dr. Wade is well-suited to treat common illnesses like sinus infections.

They are your primary care provider for comprehensive adult health.

- No. Internal medicine covers the entire adult lifespan, and many internists have expertise in geriatrics, making them well-suited to care for older adults.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Wade provides common adult vaccines, including annual flu shots, 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.
