Just as children require specialized medical care that only a pediatrician can truly provide, older adults can also benefit from seeing a geriatric medicine doctor that can provide them with the unique and individualized care they need during this phase of their life. After all, aging can affect everything from mobility and hearing to vision and memory and our Mesquite, TX, geriatric medicine doctor Dr. Jeremiah Sisay can provide the tailored medical care that patients over age 65 often require.
About Geriatric Medicine
While most people have heard of pediatricians most people don’t even realize that there are doctors who cater to the health care needs of older adults. Our geriatrician, Dr. Sisay, is an internal medicine doctor that specializes in treating older adults. We can help prevent, diagnose, and treat a variety of age-related disorders and conditions, as well as provide support and counseling for health issues that occur later in life. Some of these issues may include memory loss, serious falls, or incontinence.
Turning to a Geriatrician
Wondering if a geriatrician is really the right doctor to turn to? We understand that if you’ve been seeing the same doctor for years, you may not feel like you’re quite ready to make the switch. We understand; however, many Americans do not have a general doctor that they turn to for care, and as we age it’s even more important that we have a doctor that we can turn to regularly, especially when injuries or illness occur. This is where our geriatric medicine doctor can be of great service to you and your health. If you are dealing with multiple health problems, your everyday function is declining, or you’re on multiple medications, our geriatric specialist Dr. Sisay can help you.
How a Geriatrician can Benefit Your Health
Being a geriatrician is a specialty, which also means that Dr. Sisay can take more time out with his patients than a regular physician can. When you are dealing with health concerns or you have questions, this means that you get the information you need and you never feel rushed. We prioritize your health to ensure that you feel and function at your best. Your health and wellbeing are important to us. Dr. Sisay and his team also offer same- and next-day appointments, which also means medical care at your fingertips when an illness or urgent matter occurs. As you get older you may find yourself dealing with more urgent medical needs and we can easily meet those needs.
