My approach
The goal is not only to extend life, but to help each person live as healthily, independently and fully as possible.
Geriatric care begins with listening to the patient and family and continues with a comprehensive medical and functional assessment.
The goal is a personal treatment plan matched to each person’s needs, preferences and priorities.
