Yes, geriatric care is a well-established branch of primary care that focuses specifically on the diagnosis, treatment, and overall well-being of older patients.   As geriatricians specialize in treating members of the elderly population, they have very comprehensive expertise on the unique health issues that may develop as patients get older. This includes issues such as loss of balance, hearing loss, vision loss, osteoporosis, joint and muscle issues, memory loss, incontinence, and much more.   In addition to this, geriatricians also have superior knowledge regarding drug therapy and interactions as they pertain to seniors, health maintenance, aging and illness patterns, and different forms and methods of senior rehabilitation.   It’s important to note that it’s very common for older adults to be seeing more than one doctor depending on their unique health situation. They may have a primary care provider (which may or may not be their geriatrician), as well as other specialists that are needed to target specific conditions and/or ailments.
