Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Marcos:
- 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, 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, an internist is an excellent choice. Managing multiple chronic conditions is a core strength of internal medicine. Dr. Marcos 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.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes. Medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, especially for patients with multiple conditions. Dr. Marcos will review all of your prescriptions (even those from specialists) to check for interactions, ensure proper dosing, and simplify your regimen whenever possible.
- 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. Marcos can be very helpful. Internists are highly trained in diagnosing complex medical conditions, often called "medical detectives." Dr. Marcos is skilled at evaluating vague or unusual symptoms to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
- 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, and many internists, like Dr. Marcos, have expertise in geriatrics, ensuring seamless care as you age.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Marcos serves as the central point for your care, coordinating with your cardiologist and surgeon. We manage referrals, review specialist reports, and ensure all treatments and medications work together safely and effectively. This helps to avoid potential conflicts and optimize your overall health.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Marcos' practice emphasizes preventive care, with a major focus on adult wellness and disease prevention. This includes annual physicals, managing risk factors like high cholesterol and blood pressure, and providing recommended adult screenings.
- What kind of adult immunizations do you provide?
- Dr. Marcos provides common adult vaccines, including annual flu shots, 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.
