Geriatric Doctors - Do You See One

‎02-16-2022 09:02 PM

I am considering making an appt to see one.  I am getting nowhere with my current physician and my health concerns are getting worse.  So I feel maybe a geriatric doctor can address some of the changes my body is going thru at my age.  Any experience in this area?

I think you have an excellent idea. Count me in on the search for a specialist in my area.

@rms1954    Geriatric doctor?  No, mine is quite young, just finished her residency.

@rms1954 I had to use the term geriatrician to get google to give me a specific doctor.

I likely will in future but my sis and BIL have switched to geriatric docs and are quite pleased.

Geriatric doctors diagnose and treat issues that affect older adults. Their patients often have one or more chronic health issues.
