    Dr. Mody is one of very few internists in this country with an expertise in aging populations, epidemiology, an active research laboratory in microbiology and a translational research agenda focused on vulnerable aging population. She has mentored several junior faculty, fellows, post-doctoral students and residents in conducting clinical, epidemiologic as well as laboratory-based research projects and has had uninterrupted NIH funding since 2003. In 2015, she received a 5-year NIH K24 Midcareer Investigator Award to mentor junior faculty in translational aging, infectious diseases and health outcomes research. Her NIH and AHRQ funded work has created a thriving consortium of post-acute and long-term care facilities in SE Michigan interested in developing interventions to enhance infection prevention in a traditionally resource poor setting. In an NIH-R01 study (PI: Mody), her team evaluated a multi-modal targeted infection-prevention (TIP) intervention to prevent resistant organisms and infections in long-term care residents with indwelling devices. This study has garnered national attention and spurred several subsequent pilot projects. Our group (PIs: Saint, Mody) has been awarded an AHRQ contract to implement lessons learnt from this model to 500 federal and non-federal post-acute and long-term care facilities across 50 states in the US. Funded by another concurrent NIH-R01 (PI: Mody), her team is defining the complex relationship between antimicrobial resistance, caregiver and environmental contamination, and functional disability in post-acute care facilities. In order to understand transmission dynamics within post-acute and long-term care facilities, she is collaborating with other national leaders to evaluate spread of organisms from a resident to healthcare worker gown and gloves. She is nationally active at several research methodology and career development activities at the American Geriatrics Society, Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America and the Infectious Diseases Society of America. Dr. Mody is highly rated in 3 conditions, according to our data. Her clinical expertise encompasses Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA), Urinary Tract Infection (UTI), Asymptomatic Bacteriuria, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), and Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). Dr. Mody is currently accepting new patients.

    What is a primary care physician (PCP)?  

    A primary care physician (PCP) is the first doctor people go to when they feel sick or need a check-up. This doctor helps with many different health problems, gives advice to keep patients healthy, and treats common illnesses. A PCP also keeps track of a person’s overall health and can refer them to a specialist if more specific care is needed.    

    What’s the difference between a primary care physician (PCP) and a specialist?  

    The main difference between a PCP and a specialist is the kind of health conditions they treat. PCPs care for people of all ages and treat a wide range of health issues, from the common cold to sports injuries. They also focus on preventive care, such as vaccines to prevent illnesses or screenings to catch diseases before they become serious. 

    Specialists, on the other hand, have advanced training in a specific area of medicine like cardiology (heart health) or neurology (brain health). There are many kinds of specialists on MediFind, each with their own focus. When needed, PCPs will help patients understand when they need to see a specialist. PCPs will also collaborate with specialists on a treatment plan specific to their patients’ needs. 

    What is another name for a primary care physician?

    There are a few different types of primary care doctors. In addition to primary care providers, a primary care physician may also be called a general practitioner, family doctor, or internist. There are also PCPs with special training to work with specific patient populations. Pediatricians, for example, are PCPs who work with children, while geriatricians are PCPs who work with older adults.  

    Why do people have a primary care physician?

    People have a primary care physician to help keep them healthy and to have a doctor they can go to for most of their health needs. A PCP helps with regular check-ups, treats illnesses, and can help manage long-term health problems. That’s why it’s helpful for patients to maintain long-term relationships with their PCPs if possible.    

    Why does my health insurance require me to see a primary care physician?   

    Health insurance requires patients to see a primary care physician because a PCP helps keep people healthy with preventive care, which lowers costs for the insurer. A PCP can also decide if a patient needs to see a specialist, which helps avoid unnecessary tests and treatments, keeping healthcare costs down. 

    What is the first thing a doctor does when seeing a patient?   

    The first thing a primary care doctor does when seeing a patient is to ask questions about their health and health goals. This includes asking about symptoms, past health problems, family health history, and lifestyle. This helps the doctor understand what’s going on if the patient is experiencing a problem, or what might help the patient get healthier or stay healthy. 

    When should I visit a Nurse Practitioner (NP) vs. a Doctor (MD)?  

    You can visit a Nurse Practitioner (NP) for routine check-ups, minor illnesses, and help with long-term health issues. Nurse Practitioners are trained to handle many common health problems. You should see a Doctor (MD) for more serious or complicated health issues, or if you need specialized care that an NP cannot provide. Sometimes, NPs and MDs work together to take care of their patients.  

    How do I find a Primary Care Doctor near Canton, MI?

If you just received a diagnosis from you Primary Care Doctor, but something in your gut tells you to seek more guidance, it’s OK to consult with another doctor near Canton, MI to get additional insight into your condition and care.
