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

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

An internist, like Dr. Singh, 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 various medical conditions affecting adults.

How does Dr. Raja Singh manage patients with multiple chronic conditions?

Dr. Singh excels at managing patients with multiple chronic conditions. He acts as the quarterback of your healthcare team, coordinating care with specialists, managing medications carefully to avoid interactions, and focusing on your overall well-being.

What is your approach to preventive care for adults?

Dr. Singh's practice emphasizes a personalized, evidence-based approach to preventive care, partnering with patients to minimize health risks and promote healthy aging. Key screenings for adults, including blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose checks, along with cancer screenings (colorectal, breast, prostate), are integral parts of this strategy. We tailor recommendations to individual needs and risk factors, fostering a collaborative effort for optimal well-being.

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

Dr. Singh regularly reviews all of a patient's medications to check for potential drug interactions, eliminate unnecessary prescriptions, and ensure the treatment plan is as simple and effective as possible. This process, called polypharmacy management, helps optimize medication use and minimize side effects.

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 crucial for protecting against these common, yet potentially severe conditions.

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

A pre-operative evaluation is a crucial safety step. Dr. Singh will perform a thorough evaluation of your heart, lungs, and overall health to identify and minimize any risks associated with anesthesia and the stress of surgery, ensuring the best possible outcome.

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. It's often linked to conditions like obesity and diabetes. Dr. Singh can help you understand lifestyle changes, like diet and weight loss, to prevent further liver problems.

What is COPD, and how is it managed?

COPD, or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, is a common lung disease, often related to smoking, that makes breathing difficult. Management focuses on preventing flare-ups with inhaler medications, providing supplemental oxygen when needed, and encouraging pulmonary rehabilitation.
