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

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

An internist, like Dr. Tehrani, 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 that affect adults.

Dr. Tehrani's approach to preventive care emphasizes a personalized, evidence-based plan.

We partner with patients to minimize health risks and promote healthy aging through lifestyle recommendations and proactive care.

Does Dr. Marjan Tehrani provide care for patients in the hospital?

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

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

Dr. Tehrani and her team carefully review all medications, a process called polypharmacy management.

We prioritize patient safety and well-being through comprehensive medication management.

What vaccinations are important for older adults?

Staying up-to-date on vaccinations is a key strategy for preventing serious illness in older adults. High-dose flu shots, Shingrix for shingles, and pneumonia vaccines (like Prevnar 20 or Vaxneuvance and Pneumovax 23) are important for protecting this group. These vaccines significantly reduce the risk of serious complications from these illnesses.

Why do I need a pre-operative evaluation before surgery?
