    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 Los Angeles, 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.

    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 Los Angeles, 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 Los Angeles, 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.

You can even use MediFind to search for another Geriatrician or specialist near Los Angeles, CA who can provide a second opinion.

However, plenty of research has shown that experience is the best predictor of expertise, and it is important to find a Los Angeles 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.

It’s about engaging in your health together to ensure you receive a high quality of care, which is called practicing patient autonomy.

    How far should I travel to find the best Geriatrician near Los Angeles, CA?

    Despite our increasingly connected world, there are times when you need to see your Geriatrician in person in Los Angeles. For Geriatricians, this study concluded that people typically only travel about 18 minutes. So, a good rule of thumb is to select a primary care physician that is located near you in Los Angeles, somewhere between 15-30 minutes away. For more specialized care, you may need to travel considerably further, but look for specialists within 45 minutes of your home near Los Angeles, CA if possible.

    In recent years, many Geriatricians  have also adopted telehealth, also commonly called telemedicine, which is the use of digital technology to provide or supplement patient care. Telehealth can help reduce the burden of physical travel to your Geriatrician near Los Angeles, CA. You might wish to consider contacting your Geriatrician’s office to learn about the telehealth options they offer for Los Angeles, as well as your insurance provider.
