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

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

An internist, like Dr. Trehan, 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 can affect adults.

Dr. Trehan excels at managing patients with multiple chronic conditions. He acts as the quarterback, coordinating care with specialists, optimizing medication regimens, and prioritizing the patient's overall well-being. This holistic approach ensures comprehensive and effective care.
