The num­ber of geri­atric patients is steadi­ly ris­ing. As a prac­ti­tion­er in geri­atrics, I take pride in pro­vid­ing med­ical care for aging adults, address­ing phys­i­cal frailty, man­ag­ing mul­ti­ple med­ica­tions, and treat­ing com­plex and chron­ic con­di­tions, includ­ing age-relat­ed dis­eases like osteo­poro­sis. My approach empha­sizes pre­ven­ta­tive and holis­tic care. I val­ue tak­ing the time to get to know my patients, under­stand­ing their per­spec­tives, and cre­at­ing health­care goals that align with their needs. Our geri­atric pop­u­la­tion requires care­givers who can lis­ten, adapt, and ensure they enjoy a good qual­i­ty of life.
