Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Park:
- What is the difference between an Internal Medicine doctor and a Family Medicine doctor?
- Internal Medicine physicians, or Internists, specialize in adult healthcare (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 a great choice. Managing multiple chronic conditions is a core strength of internal medicine. Dr. Park 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.
- Should I see an Internist for a common illness like a sinus infection?
- Yes, an internist like Dr. Park is well-suited to treat a sinus infection. Internists are primary care physicians for adults and are equipped to diagnose and treat a wide range of common illnesses, including respiratory infections.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes. Medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, especially for patients with multiple conditions. Dr. Park 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. Internal medicine covers the entire adult lifespan, from young adulthood through senior years. Many internists, like Dr. Park, have specialized training 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. Park's practice emphasizes adult wellness and disease prevention, including annual physicals, managing risk factors, and providing recommended screenings for adults. A significant portion of our care focuses on proactive health management.
