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

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

An internist, like Dr. Dadlani, 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 that can affect adults.

Our goal is not just to lower your blood pressure numbers, but to prevent serious complications like heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease. We take a multi-faceted approach, starting with lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, and adding medication when needed to reach a personalized, safe blood pressure target.

What happens during a 'Welcome to Medicare' or annual wellness visit?

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