Overview

"Geriatric medicine specialists all have personal stories about why we chose this complex branch of medicine. For me, it was my intergenerational upbringing and immigrant grandmother who always believed I would eventually become her doctor (""mi doctora""). Watching my grandmother and caregiver parents try to navigate the complicated health care system made me passionate about ensuring that the appropriate interprofessional care is delivered to older adults across all settings of care. Getting to share my passion with learners in the classroom, at medical meetings, and at the patient's bedside gives me energy. I hope to pass along my compassion for the unique needs of older adults to my two daughters.".

My goal is to evaluate patients as accurately as possible and determine the cause of problems with memory or thinking. I may order tests to help achieve this goal. Together, we will begin a treatment plan. Part of the plan may be starting a medication, entering a clinical trial, or participating in a research study. I am dedicated to developing, discovering, and using the latest health-related advances to evaluate, diagnose, and treat dementia. My mission is to provide patients the opportunity to participate in research and partner with us in discovering and understanding what causes changes to memory and thinking.

My practice helps older adults and their families deal with problems that often come with aging. While my research focuses on preventing falls and broken bones in older adults, I also care for people with memory loss, depression, weight loss, side effects from medications, incontinence, pain, difficulty getting around, and loss of independence. My clinic uses a team approach that includes a social worker, geriatric nurse specialist and geropsychiatrist. Instead of focusing on one problem at a time, we try to think about the whole person, making sure to understand the patient's goals and preferences, and helping to prioritize plans when there are many problems going on at once. It is a joy and privilege to work with older adults, and I especially love hearing stories accumulated over a lifetime. At home, I am a proud mother of two teenage boys and an active volunteer in our Boy Scout troop, church and community. Dr. Colon is highly rated in 1 condition, according to our data.
