Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Deng:
- 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, 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 like heart disease and diabetes is a core strength of internal medicine. Dr. Deng 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. Deng 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.
- 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. Deng can help. Internists are highly trained in diagnosing complex medical conditions, often acting as "medical detectives." Dr. Deng is skilled at evaluating a wide range of 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. Deng 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. Deng's practice emphasizes adult wellness and disease prevention. A major focus is on annual physicals, managing risk factors, and providing recommended screenings for adults. This includes proactive care to help patients maintain good health.
- Should I see an Internist for a common illness like a sinus infection?
- Yes, Dr. Deng is fully equipped to diagnose and treat common illnesses like sinus infections. As your primary care provider, she can provide comprehensive care for adult health concerns, including acute illnesses.
- 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. Deng, have expertise in geriatrics, making them well-suited to care for you as you age.
