Geriatrics

3305 N Leisure World Boulevard, Silver Spring, MD 20906

Dr. Xiao-Chun Sharon Yang is a Silver Spring, MD physician who specializes in geriatrics (elderly care).

"Dr. Yang is a very caring and dedicated internist. She has been my primary care doctor for over 3 years and I am happy with her care. She keeps up with technology, documenting visits and treatments provided. She is Chinese and sometimes her accent in English is hard to understand but we always find a way to communicate. Her office is staffed by ever changing young Chinese-speaking interns, most of whom speak very good English. I would say this is the only negative aspect of the practice for a non-Asian patient."

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.
