GERIATRIC
MEDICAL
CENTER
Our practice provides specialized care for older adults, those 50 and older, to maximize their function and keep them independent.
As we age, our body composition changes, our functions decline, and we respond differently to medications.
A fellowship-trained geriatrician has the expertise needed to address these issues as well as diseases that are more prevalent in the elderly.
Geriatric Medical Center provides primary care geriatrics where our physicians can manage all your medical problems in the office setting, hospital, and skilled nursing facility. We also provide geriatric consultations where you keep your primary care physician, but you see our experts in geriatrics to optimize your care.

MEMORY
As we age, we will likely develop cognitive impairment and Dementia. It is important to be evaluated by a specialized physician to find out if the memory deficit is due to a reversible cause which can be improved or due to Dementia. We are specialized in the diagnosis and the management of the different types of Dementia and the behavioral problems which can be associated with.
BEHAVIOR
Many patients with Dementia have behavioral problems like apathy, agitations, restlessness, hallucination and delusion. While most of these behaviors can be managed without medications, sometimes, pharmacological treatment can be necessary.
FUNCTION
Most elderly are functional and independant. Some, because of chronic diseases and disabilities can have some limitations. In our clinic, we do thorough evaluation and implement plans to improve and maximize these functions.
PREVENTION
We believe that most of our diseases and disorders can be prevented. We emphasize and coach our patients about healthy diet, exercise and vaccinations when indicated.
