Geriatric Medicine
Geriatric Doctor in Holiday
Aging brings unique health challenges that require a specialized, thoughtful approach. As your primary care physician, We offer dedicated geriatric services designed to maintain your independence, manage complex conditions, and enhance your overall quality of life. Unlike high-volume clinics, my solo practice ensures you receive the unhurried, personalized attention you deserve.
Specialized Medical Support for Seniors
* Chronic Disease Management: Expert coordination and treatment for conditions such as arthritis, heart disease, hypertension, and Type 2 diabetes.
* Cognitive & Memory Screenings: Proactive assessments for Alzheimer’s and dementia to ensure early intervention and support for both patients and families.
* Medication Therapy Management: A thorough review of all prescriptions to prevent “polypharmacy” (over-medication) and dangerous drug interactions.
* Mobility & Fall Prevention: Evaluation of balance and strength to reduce the risk of falls and maintain physical autonomy.
* Preventative Screenings: Age-appropriate cancer screenings, bone density tests (DEXA), and vaccinations like Shingrix and Pneumovax.
Coordinated Care & Family Support
If you are a Medicare beneficiary, you are eligible for a yearly Wellness Visit with $0 out-of-pocket cost. This is not a physical, but a strategic planning session where we:
- Update your personalized prevention plan.
- Screen for depression and cognitive impairment.
- Review functional safety and advance care planning.

We act as your central health advocate , communicating directly with specialists, physical therapists, and family members to ensure everyone is on the same page.

FAQs
Physicians, providers, and staff at Florida Primary Care are trusted by patients for compassionate, comprehensive care. Primary care is your first point of contact for overall health and wellness needs. Florida Primary Care proudly serves patients across Florida, offering support
Can I attend appointments with my loved one?
Absolutely. We encourage family members or caregivers to be present, especially if the patient has hearing loss, memory concerns, or a complex medication schedule. With the patient’s consent, having an extra set of ears helps ensure that care instructions are understood and followed.
How do you handle medical privacy (HIPAA)?
To discuss your loved one’s health over the phone or in person, we must have a signed HIPAA Authorization Form on file. Once that is established, we can share lab results, medication changes, and treatment plans with you directly.
What should I do if I notice sudden changes in their memory or behavior?
Sudden confusion (delirium) or mood changes can often be caused by treatable medical issues, such as a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) or a medication interaction. Please call the office immediately if you notice a sharp decline so we can rule out acute infections.
How can you help us manage "polypharmacy" (too many pills)?
Over-medication is a significant risk for seniors. We perform regular “medication reconciliations” where we review every bottle. My goal is to deprescribe unnecessary medications to reduce side effects, lower costs, and prevent dangerous interactions.
Can you help us with Advance Directives and Living Wills?
Yes. These conversations are a standard part of our Medicare Annual Wellness Visits. We can help your family navigate the medical aspects of a Power of Attorney or Living Will to ensure your loved one’s healthcare wishes are honored.
