What is a Geriatrician and How Can They Help You?

A geriatrician specializes in healthcare for older adults, addressing age-related medical complexity and functional status. These physicians focus on maintaining independence, managing multiple conditions, and optimizing quality of life in elderly patients.

Geriatricians complete medical school, a residency in internal medicine or family medicine, and a one-year geriatric medicine fellowship emphasizing age-related syndromes, medication optimization, and comprehensive geriatric evaluation.

A Geriatrician's practice involves:

  • Emphasizes the aging process and geriatric syndrome management
  • Performs holistic geriatric evaluations, coordinates multiple chronic conditions, manages care transitions
  • Addresses cognitive decline, balance disorders, frailty syndromes, bone fragility, medication complexity, and age-related functional limitations
  • Uses pharmaceutical optimization, injury prevention protocols, cognitive screening, and interdisciplinary care planning
  • Alternative names: elder medicine physician, gerontology specialist, MD, DO

Ensuring Data Transparency and Trust: A Guide to Vitals Doctor Listings and Reviews

Our provider data is gathered directly from physicians and publicly available databases. Providers who verify their profiles gain the ability to update information, offering additional details about their specialties,education, treated conditions, performed procedures, and accepted insurances.

Reviews on Vitals are submitted by users only. Recognizing the valuable insights these reviews offer into a doctor's reputation, we maintain internal policies and protocols to ensure the quality and accuracy of all reviews. Importantly, providers cannot delete or alter reviews independently. Reviews can only be deleted or changed following an internal assessment by our customer service team.

Your feedback is highly valued and we encourage you to contact our support team should you encounter any issues.
