Q:What is a hospitalist?
A:A hospitalist is a doctor, usually specializing in Internal Medicine, who cares for other doctors' patients if they require care in the hospital. They almost exclusively work in the hospital. Just as a cardiologist specializes in the heart, hospitalists specialize in hospital medicine.

Q:Who will decide if I need to go to the hospital?
A:Occasionally illnesses are severe enough that they require you to be admitted to the hospital. Like before, If you go to the ER, you and the ER doctor will decide if admission is needed. Likewise if you are in the office, you and Dr. McMillion, Dr. Ghanta, or Dr. Haley will make that decision. We will contact the hospital doctor to let them know you are coming to the hospital and they will see you when you get to your room.

Q:Will I see my doctor in the hospital?
A:We still have privileges at both hospitals. If you are admitted to the hospital, just let our office know and we will come by and see you to answer questions, and to provide a familiar face during your stay.

Q:Does this mean you are no longer on call after-hours for urgent questions or concerns?
A:Absolutely not. Dr. Haley, Dr. Ghanta, and Dr. McMillion are still available for urgent questions or concerns, just as before. They only share call with each other so you will always hear a familiar voice.
