- Arthritis
- SinusitisThere are two types of sinus infections: acute and chronic. Acute sinusitis can last up to four weeks, while chronic sinusitis lasts more than four weeks and may occur more than four times a year. Chronic sinusitis should be evaluated by a physician, because it can be caused by severe allergies, nasal tumors or even respiratory tract infections. Some people may even have structural problems with their sinuses which can lead to chronic infections.
- Medical Weight Loss“The most rewarding part of my job is helping patients achieve their goals,” she said. “Patients inspire me, whether it be hitting a weight loss goal, improving diabetes, smoking cessation or improving exercise habits. Their willingness to improve their lives inspires me.”
- RheumatologyRheumatology is the medical specialty focused on diseases affecting the musculoskeletal system. This system consists of joints, tendons, ligaments, bones and muscles. Rheumatologists are experts in helping patients with disorders such as arthritis, loss of motion, inflammation and swelling.
- Primary Care“As a board-certified physician assistant, I enjoy all aspects of primary care medicine, including chronic and acute disease management, preventive medicine, and women’s health issues. I joined Raleigh Adult Medicine in 2011.”
- Smoking Cessation
- Family PracticeIn one of the field trips to a rural area during my medical school training, I was directly involved in the health promotion of a small community; this gave me the opportunity to affect so many lives in such a short span of time — a moment so satisfying that I embraced Family Medicine as a life mission.
- Emergency CareAnaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening condition that can occur within minutes after exposure to the allergen. During anaphylaxis, the airways narrow, making it difficult to breathe. Other symptoms may include hives, a weak and rapid pulse, dizziness, fainting or vomiting. Anaphylaxis requires immediate, emergency medical attention. Symptoms may improve after a shot of epinephrine, and sometimes the person having the anaphylaxis reaction will carry an auto injector such as EpiPen. However, even if symptoms improve after administering epinephrine, it is still necessary to visit the emergency department to ensure the symptoms will not return. (4, 5)
- ElectrocardiogramDuring an echocardiogram, a gel is applied to the chest to help the sound waves reach the heart. A transducer—a wand-like device that transmits ultrasound [link]waves—is moved around on the chest. A computer then converts the images relayed by the sound waves into an image on a computer screen. In addition, electrodes—soft sticky patches used to monitor heart activity— are attached to the patient’s chest during this procedure. These electrodes allow an EKG (electrocardiogram ) to record the heart’s rhythm.

- UltrasoundRaleigh Adult Medicine offers in-office ultrasound services. During an ultrasound, you will lie on a table and a clear gel will be applied to the area being examined. This gel assists the transition of the sound waves. A handheld probe, called a transducer, will be moved over the area to be examined. This transducer sends high frequency sound waves through body tissue and when the sound waves reflect off of structures such as organs or bones, it creates an image that is then interpreted by the physician.

- X-Rays
- Computed TomographyAn ultrasound utilizes high-frequency sound waves to create images that allow physicians and surgeons to examine organs and systems within a patient’s body. Unlike a CT scan or an X-ray, an ultrasound does not use radiation to obtain the images. (1) An ultrasound may be used to evaluate breast lumps, evaluate the thyroid gland, check for gallbladder disease, or even evaluate muscles and tendons. (2)
