Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Pham:
- 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). 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. Managing multiple chronic conditions like heart disease and diabetes is a core strength of Internal Medicine. Dr. Pham 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.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes. Medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, especially for patients with multiple conditions. Dr. Pham will review all of your prescriptions (even those from specialists) to check for interactions, ensure proper dosing, and simplify your regimen whenever possible.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Pham serves as the central coordinator for your care, managing referrals to specialists like your cardiologist or surgeon, reviewing reports, and ensuring all treatments and medications work together safely and effectively.
- 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. Pham, have expertise in geriatrics, making them well-suited for your care as you age.
- 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. Pham can be very helpful. Internists are highly trained in diagnosing complex medical issues, often called "medical detectives." Dr. Pham is skilled at evaluating a wide range of symptoms, even those that may seem confusing or unusual, to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Pham 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. Pham's practice emphasizes adult wellness and disease prevention, including annual physicals, management of risk factors like high cholesterol and blood pressure, and recommended screenings for adults. A major focus is on preventing illness before it occurs.
