Please inquire if you have questions about uninsured services.
- Can I book an appointment directly or do I absolutely need a referral?

As experts in Internal Medicine and Geriatric Care, Internists and Geriatricians see patients based on specific medical questions posed by the referring doctor. This ensures continuity of care and that the consultation is appropriate for your needs. Please have your doctor forward the referral information.
- Is the focus mainly on diseases or also on daily function?
- While diagnosing and managing diseases like Polypharmacy & Medication Optimization or Cognitive Impairment & Dementia Syndromes is crucial, Dr. Jain also places significant emphasis on maintaining or improving daily function and quality of life, especially for older adults.

This ensures your family doctor is fully informed and can continue to coordinate your overall care effectively.
- What typically happens during a first consultation?
- During your initial visit, Dr. Jain will conduct a thorough review of your medical history, symptoms, and medications based on your referral and the information you provide. He will likely perform a relevant physical examination. Following this assessment, he will discuss his findings, potential diagnoses, recommended further investigations (if any), and a proposed management plan. There will be time for you to ask questions.
- 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 management of rheumatologic conditions or evaluation of inflammatory markers), 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. Your family doctor can best determine if a specialist consultation is needed.
