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

An internist, like Dr. Yoshida, is a primary care doctor who specializes in the care of adults. 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. Jenny Yoshida manage patients with multiple chronic conditions?

Dr. Yoshida excels at managing patients with multiple chronic conditions.

Can you help me understand my risk for stroke?

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an accumulation of fat in the liver, often linked to conditions like obesity and diabetes. Dr. Yoshida can help you understand lifestyle changes, such as weight loss and diet, to prevent further liver issues.

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

Dr. Yoshida 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. Yoshida manages other health aspects affected by these conditions, such as heart health, kidney function, and bone density, ensuring comprehensive care.

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

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