Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Allen:
- What is the difference between an Internal Medicine doctor and a Family Medicine doctor?
- Internal Medicine physicians, or Internists, specialize in the medical care of adults (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. Managing multiple chronic conditions is a core strength of internal medicine. Dr. Allen 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. Allen can help. Internists are highly trained in diagnosing complex medical conditions, often considered "medical detectives." Dr. Allen is skilled at evaluating a wide range of symptoms, even unusual ones, to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes, medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, especially for patients with multiple conditions. Dr. Allen will review all of your prescriptions (even those from specialists) to check for interactions, ensure proper dosing, and simplify your regimen whenever possible.
- Since you don't treat children, will I need to find a new doctor when I get older?
- No, Dr. Allen treats adults of all ages. Internal medicine covers the entire adult lifespan, and many internists specialize in geriatrics, making them well-suited to care for older adults.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Allen's practice emphasizes adult wellness and disease prevention. A major focus is on annual physicals, managing risk factors like high cholesterol and blood pressure, and providing recommended screenings. This proactive approach helps prevent illness and promotes overall health.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Allen 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.
- Should I see an Internist for a common illness like a sinus infection?
- Yes, Dr. Allen is fully equipped to diagnose and treat common illnesses like sinus infections. As your primary care provider, she can address a wide range of adult health concerns, including acute infections.
