Dr. Shauna Guthrie

Dr. Shauna Guthrie, MD

23 mi from Boydton, VA
Family Physician
123 Horner St, Henderson, NC 27536
I’m a Family Medicine and Preventive Medicine Physician. More importantly, I grew up in rural areas of KS and MO and know first-hand what it’s like to avoid going to the doctor because of lack of insurance and fear of cost. Even recently I’ve delayed going because of a lack of convenience and in a small town I’m always a little concerned about privacy. I created Sunflower DPC around the idea that our current healthcare system is broken, but it doesn’t have to be. Now the official stuff: I went to The University of Kansas (KU not UK) where I received a bachelor’s degree in Biology/Genetics. I went to medical school at Drexel University College of Medicine in Philadelphia and did my residencies (specialty training) at the NH Dartmouth Family Medicine Residency and Dartmouth Hitchcock Leadership Preventive Medicine Residency. In 2013, upon finishing my training, I was looking for warmer weather than Concord, NH (easy) and found it in Henderson, NC. While here I’ve worked across Granville and Vance Counties in the hospitals, nursing homes, and private practice, as well as public health (where I still get the opportunity to serve). I treat people of all ages and one thing I absolutely love about Family Medicine that I get to know my patients, their health, and sometimes even see their families grow!

Her favorite place to visit is South India, where her family is originally from.

Hi there. I’m Jen Finelli, or, professionally, Jen Veldhuyzen, MD, SAMFE. I’m a former military physician and sexual assault medical forensic examiner, currently completing my Fellowship of Advanced Wilderness Medicine through the WMS. Online, I’m the rogue doctor–a real person without all the glitter and pedestals upholding the fake prestige of the medical community. I’m open about the real issues facing medical providers–such as a 70 percent higher suicide rate than other professions–and because I’m honest about my own health struggles with PTSD, MDD, and fibromyalgia, I’m better equipped to help you find solutions to better cope with stigmatized chronic illnesses. I hurt, so I understand hurting.

Who is an internist?


Medically Reviewed by Nassim Assefi, MD on September 16th, 2023 


Internist, an internal medicine doctor, specializes in a person's internal organs - for example,  the heart, lungs, liver, and kidney. They help manage diseases related to these organs and study how they interact. They treat only adult patients and not children.. 


An internist often acts as a health gatekeeper as they closely monitor a patient's body systems and help manage chronic illnesses. As diseases progress, they may even collaborate with other specialists for treatment. 


What are the educational qualifications of an internist?


To practice as an internist, an individual must first obtain a four-year undergraduate degree. In addition, they must complete a minimum of four years of medical school followed by a three-year internal medicine residency. To become board-certified in the U.S., all internists must clear the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) exam. 


Some internists may opt for additional specialization and clinical training in specific areas such as cardiology, critical care, hematology, oncology, and pulmonary disease.


What are the types of conditions treated by internists?


Since internists have comprehensive knowledge about how all systems in the body work together, they know how to treat various health conditions. Following is a list of some of the conditions treated by them:

  • Cardiovascular disorders
  • Diabetes mellitus
  • Headaches/Migraines
  • High or low blood pressure
  • Influenza
  • Kidney disorders
  • Low back pain
  • Lung disorders 
  • Asthma
  • COPD
  • Pneumonia
  • Sexually Transmitted Infectionss (STIs)
  • Sleep disorders
  • Hepatitis
  • Wound infections
  • Arthritis


How to prepare for your first internist's appointment?


Here is how you should prepare yourself for an internist's consultation to ensure that you make the most out of the visit:

  • Make sure to give the doctor's office information regarding your appointment's reason when booking your slot. 
  • If this is your first visit to an internal medicine doctor near you, be prepared to provide information about your medical history and bring your past medical records along with a list of medications (with the dosage) you may be consuming. 
  • During the visit, give the internist all the information about your symptoms and when they started.
  • After listening to you and doing your checkup, the internist may prescribe you a treatment; make sure you ask questions to fully grasp the treatment - especially if a new medication is involved. 
  • Ask for a follow-up appointment and the actions to take to maximize your recovery.

Importance of internists in the United States


Internists play a vital role in helping diagnose, manage and treat several diseases and illnesses including heart diseases, STIs and the common cold. 

 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2021 reported that heart disease was responsible for 695,547 deaths in the United States, making it the leading cause of death. 


Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are another major branch of diseases that affect millions of Americans every year. The number of reported cases of STIs has been increasing since 2014, and there are no signs of it slowing down. Between 2017 and 2021, there was almost a 7% rise in STI reports monitored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The number of cases of syphilis rose by nearly 74%, while gonorrhea increased by around 28%. In 2021, young people between the ages of 15-24 accounted for over half (51%) of reported cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis.
