Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. McGrath:
- 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 is a core strength of Internal Medicine. Dr. McGrath 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.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. McGrath 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.
- Should I see an Internist for a common illness like a sinus infection?
- Yes, an internist like Dr. McGrath is well-suited to address common illnesses like sinus infections. They are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of adult health concerns, including respiratory infections and urinary tract infections. This is part of their role as a comprehensive primary care provider.
- 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. McGrath can be very helpful. Internists are skilled at diagnosing complex medical problems, often considered "medical detectives" due to their extensive training. Dr. McGrath is adept at evaluating unusual or vague symptoms 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. McGrath 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. McGrath and our practice are focused on both treating illness and promoting wellness. A major focus is on adult preventive care, including annual physicals, managing risk factors, and providing recommended screenings. We strive to help patients maintain their health and prevent future problems.
- 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, like Dr. McGrath, have expertise in geriatrics, making them well-suited to care for older adults.
