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

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

An internist, like Dr. Trentin, is a primary care doctor who specializes in adult health. While family physicians treat patients of all ages, internists have extensive training in diagnosing and managing the many medical conditions affecting adults.

How does Dr. Caio Trentin manage patients with multiple chronic conditions?

Dr. Trentin excels at managing patients with multiple chronic conditions. He acts as the quarterback of your healthcare team, coordinating care with specialists, optimizing medication regimens, and prioritizing your overall well-being.

What is your approach to preventive care for adults?

Dr. Trentin's practice emphasizes a personalized, evidence-based approach to preventive care, partnering with patients to minimize health risks and promote healthy aging. This includes key screenings for conditions like high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, and cancers (colorectal, breast, prostate), tailored to individual needs and risk factors. We work together to develop a plan that promotes a healthy lifestyle and early detection of potential problems.

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

Dr. Trentin's approach to high blood pressure focuses on preventing heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease. We aim for a safe, personalized blood pressure target through a multi-faceted approach that begins with lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, and adds medication when needed.

What vaccinations are important for older adults?

Staying up-to-date on vaccinations is a key strategy for preventing serious illnesses in older adults. High-dose flu shots, Shingrix for shingles, and pneumonia vaccines (Prevnar 20 or Vaxneuvance and Pneumovax 23) are crucial for protecting against these common but potentially severe health concerns.

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

Dr. Trentin and our team carefully review all medications, a process called polypharmacy management. This allows us to identify potential drug interactions, eliminate unnecessary prescriptions, and ensure the most effective and simplest treatment plan possible.
