    What is a geriatrician? 

    A geriatrician, also known as a geriatric doctor, is a physician who specializes in the healthcare needs of older adults. Geriatricians focus on managing the complex physical, mental, and social changes that often come with aging, such as managing multiple health conditions or chronic diseases. While a primary care doctor provides general medical care for people of all ages, a geriatric doctor is specifically trained to recognize and treat issues specific to older adults. Geriatricians consider how treatments interact with aging bodies and how they can support overall health and wellness for their patients. 

    At what age should someone start seeing a geriatric doctor?    

    Typically, people start seeing a geriatric doctor around age 65, especially if they have multiple health conditions, mobility challenges, memory issues, or other age-related concerns. However, there isn’t a strict age limit – any adult with complex health needs or concerns about aging may benefit from seeing a geriatrician. By working with a geriatrician, older adults receive care tailored to their needs, which can help prevent complications and improve daily functioning. 

    What tests are performed by a geriatrician? 

    A geriatrician performs various assessments to evaluate an older adult’s overall health. Common tests include memory tests to check for cognitive changes, mobility assessments to identify any risk of falls, and mental health screenings for depression or anxiety. They may also review medications to avoid drug interactions and conduct routine health tests like blood pressure and blood work to monitor chronic conditions. These tests are important for creating a personalized care plan that supports each patient’s health and independence. 

    How do I find a Geriatrician near orange, CA?

    A Geriatrician is a type of primary care provider, and is responsible for your ongoing healthcare monitoring and maintenance, and is your first line of treatment. You should see your Geriatrician near orange, CA at least once a year.

    What are the different kinds of primary care providers, including Geriatricians,  near orange, CA?

    • A pediatrician is an expert in childhood growth and development and they are frequently the primary care provider for children under 18.
    • Adults near orange, CA generally see an Internist, a General Practitioner, or a Family Practitioner (often informally called a Family Doctor) for their primary care.
    • Older adults near orange, CA may see a Geriatrician, which is a provider that specializes in the care of older people.
    • Some women near orange, CA choose to receive their primary care from their OB/GYN (obstetrician/gynecologist), though if you have multiple medical issues, it may be in your best interest to find a primary care physician.

    How do I get a referral near orange, CA from my Geriatrician?

    Typically, your orange Geriatrician will refer you to a specialist if they believe it to be necessary. You can also explore your symptoms or research your diagnosis to see what kinds of providers commonly treat your health condition near orange, CA.

    Should I get a second opinion from another Geriatrician near orange, CA for my health condition?

    When you’re making important health decisions, it’s always recommended to get medical opinions from more than one provider, whether that be another Geriatrician or a specialist near orange, CA. If you just received a diagnosis from you Geriatrician, but something in your gut tells you to seek more guidance, it’s OK to consult with another doctor near orange, CA to get additional insight into your condition and care. Second opinions are highly valuable because they can either confirm or disprove your original diagnosis or provide different perspectives from different Geriatrician. Most doctors, including Geriatricians, will not get offended and welcome second opinions, especially if you were diagnosed with a serious or rare condition. You can even use MediFind to search for another Geriatrician or specialist near orange, CA who can provide a second opinion.

    How do I find a specialist near orange, CA, in addition to my Geriatrician, for my specific condition?

    There are over 7,000 conditions that providers, including Geriatricians and specialists need to treat. With so many conditions, it is nearly impossible for any provider to be an expert in every unique condition, even in just one geographic area like orange. However, plenty of research has shown that experience is the best predictor of expertise, and it is important to find a orange doctor who has a lot of experience with your particular condition. MediFind can help you find a doctor or a second opinion for your condition. 
    When talking with your Geriatrician, be honest and don’t hold anything back, since your doctor can only help you with the information you give them. Understanding the full picture will give your Geriatrician more to work with and help them provide you with the best care.

    How can I learn about the latest research and medical advances my Geriatrician in orange may know about?

    Geriatricians know there is new scientific research happening all the time, and in fact, it’s estimated that the total body of medical knowledge now doubles every 73 days. That’s a lot of information to keep up with, even for an excellent Geriatrician. MediFind can help you explore the latest medical advances, research, and breakthroughs for your health condition, giving you access to the same cutting-edge information as your orange Geriatrician.

    How can I research clinical trials my Geriatrician might tell me about, especially ones that are located near orange, CA?
