Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Berg:
- What is the difference between an Internal Medicine doctor and a Family Medicine doctor?
- Internal Medicine physicians, or Internists, specialize in the care of adults (typically age 18 and older).

- Yes. Managing multiple chronic conditions is a core strength of Internal Medicine. Dr. Berg 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. Berg, have expertise 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?

- Yes, Dr. Berg is qualified to diagnose and treat common illnesses like sinus infections. As your primary care physician, he is equipped to handle 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?
- Yes, an internist like Dr. Berg can be very helpful. Internists are highly trained in diagnosing complex medical issues, often considered "medical detectives." Dr. Berg is skilled at evaluating vague or unusual symptoms to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Berg provides common adult vaccines, including the annual flu shot, tetanus boosters (Tdap), shingles (Shingrix), and pneumonia (Prevnar/Pneumovax) vaccines. He will review your immunization history and recommend vaccinations based on your age, health status, and CDC guidelines.
