How to Provide Specialized Care for Seniors Age 65 and Above with Geriatrics

What is geriatrics? What qualifies a physician to be a geriatrician?

If you are over the age of 65, it's important to choose a physician that understands you and your unique needs. The aging process brings new challenges that only a geriatrician can help you navigate.

We specialize in geriatrics, with over 50% of our patients are over age 65.

A geriatrics specialist provides care that is informed and the most up to date. A geriatrician:

• understands how brain function interacts with physical function

• understands pharmacology and how polypharmacy can affect seniors

• evaluates functional capacity and the influence of family & the home environment

• engages family members (especially adult children) and other doctors to coordinate care

• helps patients and their families anticipate future health needs, including hospitalizations and all the subsequent care
