Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Nileshwar:
- 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, 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. Nileshwar 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. Nileshwar will review all 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. Nileshwar is well-suited to treat common illnesses like sinus infections. Internists are primary care physicians for adults and are equipped to diagnose and manage a wide range of acute conditions, including respiratory infections and urinary tract infections.
- 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. Nileshwar can be helpful. Internists are highly trained in diagnosing complex medical conditions, often considered "medical detectives." Dr. Nileshwar is skilled at evaluating vague or unusual symptoms to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Nileshwar acts as the central coordinator for your care, managing referrals to specialists like your cardiologist or surgeon. We review all reports, and ensure all treatments and medications are safe and effective together. We'll make sure everyone is on the same page.
- 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 through senior years. Many internists have specialized training in geriatrics, making them well-suited to care for older adults.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Nileshwar's practice emphasizes adult wellness and disease prevention, including annual physicals, managing risk factors like high cholesterol and blood pressure, and providing recommended screenings for adults. A major focus is on preventing illness before it occurs.
