    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 Bayside, NY?

    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 Bayside, NY at least once a year.

    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 Bayside, NY. 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 Bayside, NY to get additional insight into your condition and care.
