Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Rangineni:
- 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. Managing multiple chronic conditions, like heart disease and diabetes, is a core strength of Internal Medicine. Dr. Rangineni 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.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Rangineni serves as the central point for your health information, coordinating care with your cardiologist and surgeon. We manage referrals, review specialist reports, and ensure all treatments and medications work together safely and effectively. This collaborative approach helps us provide the best possible care for your overall health.

- Dr. Rangineni provides various adult immunizations, including annual flu shots, 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.

Dr. Rangineni is adept at evaluating a wide range of symptoms, even those that may seem unusual or confusing, to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- Since you don't treat children, will I need to find a new doctor when I get older?
