"Everything is covid with these doctors. Had an office visit to have some paperwork filled out and also mentioned a cough that i have had for several weeks. Was told by doctor that they could not see me for both things on the same day. After explaining that i wouldnt be able to return for a while the doctor ended up filling out the paperwork and prescribing me an inhaler for the cough. When i called back to talk to doctor because inhaler wasnt helping she refused to talk to me and said i need to make a post-covid appointment! I never had covid... my covid test came back negative! The staff is ALWAYS changing. The office manager, Dr. Kaufman's wife, is very rude. My insurance requires you to have a referral if your seeing a specialist. She has told me she cant continue doing this and is getting tired of doing them (mind you half the time she does them she gets it wrong and has to redo them). Dr. Kaufman himself is not so bad, however, you will have to wait a long time to see him, even if you have an appointment. There has been times i have waited over 2 hours just to be seen, And after he sees you he will most likely send you to a specialist! The office is a mess all the time. Dont waist your time going to this doctor. You will be disappointed!"

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.
