Reasons to consult a geriatrician

- Functional or cognitive decline: if you are experiencing decreased ability to concentrate, difficulty with daily routines or physical frailty, a geriatrician can identify the causes and recommend an appropriate treatment plan.
- Diseases associated with ageing: if you have a disease associated with ageing, such as dementia, urinary incontinence or osteoporosis, your geriatrician can provide specialized care and support.
- Medication management: if you are taking multiple medications from different specialists, your geriatrician can assess drug interactions and adjust treatment to avoid side effects.
