- 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, 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, an internist is an excellent choice. Managing multiple chronic conditions is a core strength of internal medicine. Dr. Lewis 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.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Lewis'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 conditions such as cancer and osteoporosis.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Lewis serves as the central coordinator for your care, managing referrals to specialists like your cardiologist or surgeon. We review all reports and ensure all treatments and medications work together safely and effectively. We'll also make sure everyone involved has the information they need.
