Comprehensive medical care for older adults, taking into account multiple chronic conditions and the interactions between them.

Geriatrics is a branch of medicine focused exclusively on the care of older adults, most often those over the age of 60. As a result, a geriatrician’s approach to treatment is highly specialized and tailored to the needs of seniors.

A geriatrician has expertise in the health issues characteristic of older age, such as dementia, osteoporosis, and multiple chronic conditions. In their work, they carry out a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s health, taking into account not only individual illnesses but also how they interact and affect the body as a whole.

Frequently asked questions

What does a geriatrician do, and when is it worth scheduling an appointment?
A geriatrician is a specialist in caring for older adults, most often those over the age of 60. A visit is recommended when a senior has multiple coexisting conditions, experiences problems with memory, balance, or daily functioning, or when treatment provided by multiple specialists requires coordination.
What does a geriatric consultation look like?
A geriatrician conducts a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s health, taking into account not only individual conditions but also how they interact with one another. The visit includes a medical interview, a review of current medications and previous treatment, as well as therapeutic recommendations.
What medical records should I bring to a geriatric appointment?
It is worth bringing your complete medical records—test results, hospital discharge summaries, a list of all medications you are taking (name, dosage, frequency), and information about any treatment you have previously received from other specialists.
Do I need a referral to see a geriatrician at ProfessMed?
No. ProfessMed is a private clinic and does not require a referral. You can schedule an appointment directly through ZnanyLekarz or by phone at +48 58 380 24 25.
