Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Moran:
- What is the difference between an Internal Medicine doctor and a Family Medicine doctor?
- Internal Medicine physicians, or Internists, specialize in adult healthcare, typically for those 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. Moran 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.
- 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. Moran, specialize in geriatrics, making them well-suited to care for you as you age.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Moran serves as the central point for your care, coordinating with your cardiologist and surgeon. We will manage referrals, review specialist reports, and ensure all treatments and medications are safe and effective together.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Moran 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.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Moran's practice emphasizes preventive care, with a major focus on adult wellness and disease prevention. This includes annual physicals, managing risk factors like 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, Dr. Moran is fully equipped to diagnose and treat common illnesses like sinus infections. As your primary care provider, she can address a wide range of adult health concerns, including acute illnesses.
- I have a set of confusing symptoms that other doctors haven't been able to diagnose. Can an Internist help?
