"I became a new patient on 1/1/2024. The experience has been terrible. I never met Dr. Cox. All my appointments were with the PA. When I call the office you are on hold for 20-30 mins. Referrals take 7-10 or more to process. On several occaisions I call the office and always placed on hold for extended amount of time. On one occasion I was so frustrated I went to the office in person to express my concerns and the office staff was sitting at the front desk having girl talk! There are too many more incidents of unprofessionlism to mention in this one review. I tried calling the office manager to express my concerns regarding lack of follow up and simple office procedures. The office manager never returned my call. Again, a sign of unacceptable medical office practice. I would NOT recommend this medical practice."

What is Geriatrics?

Geriatrics is the subspecialty of internal medicine that provides primary care to older adults. Physical health tends to decline with age, and geriatricians work to manage such age-related concerns as chronic illness, frailty, multiple medications, and declining mental health to keep seniors as active and independent as possible.

Some of the most common concerns seen by a geriatrician include:

Mobility issues, including the need for canes and walkers, as well as preventing falls
Osteoporosis, a weakening of the bones, which affects as many as a quarter of all men and half of all women over fifty
Loss of hearing or vision
Incontinence, or the inability to control one's bladder
Memory loss, including dementia and Alzheimer's disease

A geriatrician may also provide their patients with comprehensive care that includes checking on their social health. Seniors are at increased risk for poverty, loneliness, abuse, and injuries in the home. As part of their health care, a geriatrician may inquire about family support, living conditions, or the ability of a patient to perform daily self-care tasks.

In some cases, a geriatrician may serve as an advisor to other physicians on a specific case or condition. However, most of the time geriatrics is a primary care specialty, and geriatricians provide routine health care to the older patients they work with.
