- Can I book an appointment directly or do I absolutely need a referral?
- A referral from your family physician or another medical specialist is required to see Dr. Tadros. As experts in Internal Medicine and Geriatric Care, Internists and Geriatricians see patients based on specific medical questions posed by the referring doctor.

- What exactly does an Internist (Internal Medicine Specialist) do?
- An Internist is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing, treating, and preventing complex diseases primarily in adults. They are experts in managing conditions affecting multiple organ systems (Thyroid Disorders, Urinary Incontinence Assessment), handling challenging diagnostic puzzles, and coordinating care for patients with multiple chronic illnesses. They often serve as consultants to other physicians.
- Is the focus mainly on diseases or also on daily function?
- While diagnosing and managing diseases like Evaluation of Inflammatory Markers or Fever of Unknown Origin (FUO) Workup is crucial, Dr. Tadros also places significant emphasis on maintaining or improving daily function and quality of life, especially for older adults. The goal is often to help patients remain as independent and active as possible, addressing issues like mobility, self-care (Osteoporosis & Metabolic Bone Disease), and participation in meaningful activities.
- Is Dr. Tadros affiliated with a specific hospital?
- Hospital privileges can vary. Dr. Tadros may have admitting privileges or provide consultation services at local hospitals in Lethbridge. This affiliation allows for coordinated care if hospitalization is required. If you are admitted, the hospital team may consult Dr. Tadros as needed, or he might be involved in your care depending on the specific hospital and service arrangements. Please confirm details with the office if needed.
- Why is reviewing multiple medications (polypharmacy) important?
- As people age or develop multiple health conditions, they often take many medications. Polypharmacy increases the risk of side effects, drug interactions, falls, confusion, and non-adherence. A careful review helps ensure each medication is truly necessary, effective, and safe, potentially leading to deprescribing (stopping unnecessary drugs) and simplifying the regimen.
