The first visit is typically longer than a standard appointment, often 60 to 90 minutes. The geriatrician will perform a comprehensive assessment that includes a medication review, cognitive screening, functional assessment (ability to perform daily activities), fall risk evaluation, and discussion of goals and priorities. They may also assess mood, nutrition, and social support. The goal is a whole-person care plan, not just a list of diagnoses.
The fragmented hospital market means you should verify which system your insurance covers before choosing a primary care doctor. In-network at Good Samaritan does not guarantee in-network at Jupiter Medical Center.
Consider seeing a geriatrician if you or an older family member is managing five or more medications, experiencing memory problems or cognitive decline, having frequent falls, dealing with multiple chronic conditions that are difficult to manage together, facing decisions about independent living, needing coordination of complex medical care, or wanting to discuss advance care planning.
