Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Swami:
- 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).

Dr. Swami 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.

Dr. Swami is adept at assessing 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. Swami 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 work together safely and effectively. We will also make sure all your doctors are aware of your complete medical history.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes, medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, and Dr. Swami 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?
