What Is Geriatrics?
Geriatrics is the branch of medicine that focuses on achieving the highest possible level of physical and functional well-being for older adults, preventing disability and disease, and promoting independence as aging occurs.
What Is The Role of a Geriatrician?
While you may think of a geriatrician as a specialist, in fact he or she is a primary care physician specially trained to prevent and manage the unique and, oftentimes, multiple health concerns of adults ages 55 and over. Older adults may react to illness and disease differently than younger adults. Whether you are in excellent or declining health, our geriatricians can provide you with individualized care to help you achieve your optimal health goals.

-
