Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Kaldis:
- 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, 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. Managing multiple chronic conditions is a core strength of internal medicine. Dr. Kaldis 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.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Kaldis' practice emphasizes preventive care as a major focus, including adult wellness and disease prevention. This includes annual physicals, managing risk factors such as high cholesterol and blood pressure, and providing recommended screenings for adults.
- Should I see an Internist for a common illness like a sinus infection?
- Yes, an internist like Dr. Kaldis is well-suited to treat a sinus infection. Internists are primary care physicians for adults and can diagnose and manage a wide range of common illnesses, including sinus infections.
- I have a set of confusing symptoms that other doctors haven't been able to diagnose. Can an Internist help?
- Yes, an internist can often help. Internists are highly trained in diagnosing complex medical conditions, often acting as "medical detectives" to pinpoint the cause of confusing symptoms. Dr. Kaldis is skilled at evaluating vague or unusual symptoms to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes. Medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, especially for patients with multiple conditions. Dr. Kaldis 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. Kaldis, have expertise in geriatrics, making them well-suited to care for you as you age.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Kaldis provides common adult vaccines, including the annual flu shot, 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.
