Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Holland IV:
- What is the difference between an Internal Medicine doctor and a Family Medicine doctor?
- Internal Medicine physicians, or Internists, specialize in the care of adult patients (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. Managing multiple chronic conditions is a core strength of Internal Medicine. Dr. Holland IV 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.
- 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, including senior years. Many internists have expertise in geriatrics, making them well-suited to care for your needs as you age.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes. Medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, especially for patients with multiple conditions. Dr. Holland IV will review all of your prescriptions (even those from specialists) to check for interactions, ensure proper dosing, and simplify your regimen whenever possible.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Holland IV 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.
- I have a set of confusing symptoms that other doctors haven't been able to diagnose. Can an Internist help?
- Yes, an internist can definitely help. Internists are highly trained in diagnosing complex medical conditions, often considered "medical detectives." Dr. Holland IV is skilled at evaluating vague or unusual symptoms to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Holland IV and our practice are focused on adult wellness and disease prevention, in addition to treating illness. We emphasize annual physicals, managing risk factors like high cholesterol and blood pressure, and providing recommended screenings for adults. This proactive approach helps prevent future health problems.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Holland IV is your central point of contact for all your health information. We coordinate care with your other doctors, such as your cardiologist or surgeon, by managing referrals, reviewing specialist reports, and ensuring all treatments and medications work together safely and effectively.
