Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Setliff:
- 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 a great choice. Managing multiple chronic conditions is a core strength of internal medicine. Dr. Setliff is an expert in understanding how different adult diseases interact and can coordinate all aspects of your 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. Setliff 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, 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. Setliff's practice emphasizes adult wellness and disease prevention. This includes annual physicals, managing risk factors like high cholesterol and blood pressure, and providing recommended screenings for adults. A major focus is on helping patients stay healthy.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Setliff 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.
- Should I see an Internist for a common illness like a sinus infection?
- Yes, an internist like Dr. Setliff is well-suited to address common illnesses like sinus infections. They are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of adult conditions, including respiratory infections and UTIs. This is part of their role as a comprehensive primary care provider.
- 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 with complex or confusing symptoms. Internists are skilled at diagnosing difficult medical conditions, and Dr. Setliff is experienced at evaluating unusual symptoms to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
