Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Internal Medicine care with Dr. Aida Jimenez:

What is an Internist, and how are they different from a Family Physician?

An internist, like Dr. Jimenez, is a primary care doctor who specializes in adult health. They have extensive training in diagnosing and treating the various medical conditions that affect adults. While family physicians care for patients of all ages, internists focus exclusively on adult care.

Dr. Jimenez's approach to preventive care emphasizes a personalized, evidence-based plan tailored to each patient's individual needs. This includes key screenings for high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, and cancers (colorectal, breast, prostate), and promotes healthy lifestyle choices to minimize risks and encourage healthy aging. We partner with you to achieve optimal health outcomes.

How do you approach medication management, especially for patients on many prescriptions?

Dr. Jimenez carefully reviews all medications, a process called polypharmacy management, to identify potential drug interactions, eliminate unnecessary prescriptions, and create the simplest, most effective treatment plan possible.

I have high blood pressure. What is your treatment philosophy?

We take a multi-faceted approach, starting with lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, and adding medication when needed to achieve a safe, personalized blood pressure target for you.

I was told I have 'fatty liver disease.' What does that mean?

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is when fat builds up in your liver. Dr. Jimenez can help you understand lifestyle changes, like weight loss and diet, to prevent further liver problems.

What is the role of an Internist in managing autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus?

Dr. Jimenez plays a central role in managing autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus by coordinating your overall health. While a rheumatologist may focus on specialized medications, Dr. Jimenez manages other health aspects, such as heart health, kidney function, and bone density, ensuring comprehensive care.

How do you help patients with healthy aging and geriatric concerns?

Dr. Jimenez's practice focuses on helping patients maintain their independence and function as they age.
