FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a general physician and a specialist?

A general physician (internist) is trained to diagnose and manage a wide range of adult medical conditions. A specialist focuses on one organ system. For complex patients with multiple conditions, an internist coordinates overall care.

Can I control diabetes without insulin?

Many Type 2 diabetics can control their blood sugar with oral medications and lifestyle changes. However, if blood sugar remains high despite tablets, insulin may be necessary. Dr. Naithani will guide you through the decision.

What tests are included in a health check-up?

A basic annual check-up includes: CBC, blood sugar (fasting and post-meal), HbA1c, lipid profile, thyroid (TSH), liver function tests, kidney function tests, urine analysis and ECG. Additional tests are added based on age and risk factors.
