Office Based Geriatricians from Medical Solutions allows you to target Geriatricians at their office location.
Geriatricians focus on a branch of medicine that deals with the problems and diseases of old age and aging people, called geriatrics. Geriatricians are experts in dealing with multiple medical problems and chronic illness. They focus on optimizing quality of life and functional ability for their patients rather than seeking definitive cures.
Geriatricians use a holistic approach to address the physical, psychological, and social problems surrounding the patient and family. A geriatrician works closely with other health care professionals and organizations, including other physicians, therapists, home care agencies, pain clinics and support groups, to meet the specific needs of each patient. They consider the patient and family as key members of the health care team, and expect them to contribute to all decisions that need to be made.
Ailments that a geriatrician will address include Alzheimer's disease, arthritis, chronic heart & lung disease, general decline, impaired overall function, incontinence, osteoporosis, Parkinson's disease, sensory problems, and stroke.
