Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Mohapatra:
- What is the difference between an Internal Medicine doctor and a Family Medicine doctor?
- Internal Medicine physicians, or Internists, specialize in adult healthcare (typically age 18 and older). They have extensive training in diagnosing and managing complex adult illnesses and chronic conditions. Family Medicine physicians, 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. Managing multiple chronic conditions is a core strength of Internal Medicine. Dr. Mohapatra 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.
- 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. Mohapatra can be helpful. Internists are highly trained in diagnosing complex medical conditions, often acting as "medical detectives." Dr. Mohapatra is skilled at evaluating a wide range of symptoms, even those that may seem unusual or confusing, to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Mohapatra serves as your central point of contact for all your medical care. We coordinate with your cardiologist and surgeon to ensure all treatments and medications work together safely and effectively. We manage referrals and review specialist reports to maintain a complete and accurate picture of your health.
- Should I see an Internist for a common illness like a sinus infection?
- Yes, an internist like Dr. Mohapatra is well-suited to treat common illnesses like sinus infections. They are trained to diagnose and manage a wide range of adult health concerns, including acute infections. This is part of their role as a comprehensive primary care provider.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes. Medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, and Dr. Mohapatra will review all of your prescriptions (even those from specialists) to check for interactions, ensure proper dosing, and simplify your regimen whenever possible.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Mohapatra's practice emphasizes preventive care as a major focus, including adult wellness and disease prevention. This involves annual physicals, management of risk factors like high cholesterol and blood pressure, and recommended screenings for adults, such as for cancer and osteoporosis.
- 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. Mohapatra, have expertise in geriatrics, making them well-suited to care for you as you age.
