This ensures continuity of care and that the consultation is appropriate for your needs. Please have your doctor forward the referral information.

During your initial visit, Dr. Dyck will conduct a thorough review of your medical history, symptoms, and medications based on your referral and the information you provide. She will likely perform a relevant physical examination.

Depending on your specific medical situation, Dr. Dyck may order various tests to aid in diagnosis or management.

When should someone be referred to an Internist or Geriatrician?

Referrals are typically appropriate for adults with complex diagnostic challenges, poorly controlled chronic diseases (like advanced Diabetes Mellitus (Type 1 & 2) or Fever of Unknown Origin (FUO) Workup), multiple interacting medical conditions, or unexplained symptoms. For older adults, referrals are common for geriatric syndromes such as falls, memory decline, frailty, or complex medication management.
