Care That Goes Beyond the Office

Our geriatric physicians ensure we understand our patients’ lives beyond the medical aspect by paying close attention to their daily needs, abilities, and activities outside of the clinic.

Experience With the Elderly

Your Visit With Us

Step 1: Schedule a Consultation

We recommend booking your appointment with us when you feel well and in good health. This provides us with the best baseline for performing a physical exam. We will review your complete medical and family history. Be sure to bring your medical records, health history, and family health history (or have them sent over from your previous doctor). Additionally, bring a list (or bag) of all your current medications with their dosages and the number of times you take them daily.

Step 2: Physical Exams and Discussion

A physical exam and medical tests provide valuable information, but the symptoms you experience point your doctor in the right direction. It’s important to describe your symptoms clearly and honestly. You can make some notes beforehand to help you remember. Also, tell your geriatric doctor about all your medications, including over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and supplements. This information helps us identify the problem and avoid potential unwanted drug interactions.

Step 3: Understand Your Condition

A diagnosis identifies your disease or physical problem. This is done by analyzing your signs and symptoms, conducting physical examinations, laboratory tests, and other diagnostic procedures. It’s advisable to ask your doctor about the name of your condition and how long it may last. Some medical problems cannot be completely cured but can be managed with treatment. By understanding your medical condition, we can make wiser decisions regarding treatment options together.

Our Approach to Aging

We recognize that every person ages differently and has unique healthcare goals. To ensure our older patients remain healthy, active, and independent, we take a patient-centered approach that employs the 5Ms of Geriatrics. It includes assessing what matters most to the patient, their medication, mental state, mobility, and multiple health conditions. For geriatric medicine in Lake Worth Beach or Loxahatchee, see us.
