Older adults often have more than one disease or condition simultaneously, which makes treatment more complicated and requires specialized knowledge. For example, hypertension can make it more difficult for someone with diabetes to control blood sugar levels. Multiple medications may interact with each other and cause side effects. You should see a geriatric doctor if you have an unexplained change in your health or if you're struggling with multiple chronic conditions. A geriatrician can help you manage complex conditions and understand how to coordinate all of your care. A Geriatric doctor can also help you and your family deal with aging-related issues such as memory problems, falls and osteoporosis. Many experts agree that people over age 65 would benefit from seeing a geriatrician rather than a primary care physician (PCP), who generally treats people of all ages. You should seek care from a Geriatric doctor if you need help addressing specific needs, including: - Complex chronic conditions - Medications management - Coordinating care across different providers and locations
