Geriatric Consultations
For older adults with multiple medical conditions, we can look at the big picture to provide advanced care planning, medication reviews and prioritization, care coordination and follow-up with specialists and caregivers, home health and hospice referrals, durable medical equipment orders, supply orders, and more. We are mobile so we can see you at your residence if desired, which can be very beneficial for care coordination and planning. We can see geriatric patients both for consultations and as a primary care provider.
