Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Internal Medicine care with Dr. Dice:
- 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. Managing multiple chronic conditions is a core strength of Internal Medicine. Dr. Dice 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.
- How do you coordinate care with my other doctors, like my cardiologist or surgeon?
- Dr. Dice serves as the central point for your care, coordinating with your cardiologist and surgeon. We will manage referrals, review specialist reports, and ensure all treatments and medications work together safely and effectively.
- Can you help me manage my medications?
- Yes. Medication management is a critical part of internal medicine, and Dr. Dice will review all of your prescriptions (including those from specialists) to check for interactions, ensure proper dosing, and simplify your regimen whenever possible.
- Should I see an Internist for a common illness like a sinus infection?
- Yes, an internist like Dr. Dice is well-suited to diagnose and treat common illnesses like sinus infections. They are primary care providers for adults and can handle a wide range of acute conditions, including respiratory infections and UTIs.
- Do you only treat sick patients, or do you also focus on preventive care?
- Dr. Dice's practice emphasizes preventive care as a major focus, alongside treating illness. We focus on adult wellness and disease prevention through annual physicals, managing risk factors like high cholesterol and blood pressure, and providing recommended screenings for adults.
- 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 to senior years. Many internists, like Dr. Dice, have expertise in geriatrics, making them ideal for managing the health needs of older adults.
- I have a set of confusing symptoms that other doctors haven't been able to diagnose. Can an Internist help?
