NGPG Geriatric Medicine physicians have special training focusing on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of adult diseases, especially for those 65+ years old. They are specially trained to solve diagnostic problems and can treat multiple medicinal problems ranging from sore throat to heart disease and everything in between.
The goal of Geriatric Medicine is to help patients manage their health conditions while remaining independent as long as possible. At NGPG Geriatric Medicine, our geriatricians also pay close attention to each patients’ social interactions and personal values. They ask intentional questions that are important for those who are 65+ and help find an approach that works for them.
