Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Gardezi:
- 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, 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 for managing multiple chronic conditions. Managing complex diseases like heart disease and diabetes is a core strength of internal medicine. Dr. Gardezi 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.
- Should I see an Internist for a common illness like a sinus infection?
- Yes, an internist like Dr. Gardezi is trained to diagnose and treat common illnesses such as sinus infections. They are equipped to provide comprehensive primary care for adults, including acute illnesses.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Gardezi 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.
- 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, including Dr. Gardezi, have additional expertise in geriatrics, making them well-suited to care for older adults.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes. Medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, especially for patients with multiple conditions. Dr. Gardezi 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. Gardezi's practice emphasizes adult wellness and disease prevention. A major focus is on annual physicals, managing risk factors, and providing recommended screenings for adults. This proactive approach helps patients stay healthy and avoid potential health issues.
- 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 confusing symptoms. Internists are skilled at diagnosing complex medical issues, often considered "medical detectives" due to their extensive training. Dr. Gardezi is adept at evaluating vague or unusual symptoms to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
