Primary Care Doctor for Seniors in Redlands, CA

A primary care doctor can specialize in taking care of kids or the elderly, or might not specialize at all. A primary care specialist in kids is a pediatrician, while a specialist in the elderly is an internal medicine doctor or an internist. If you or a loved one is an elderly person, an internist is the kind of doctor you’ll want for yourself or your loved one. You could also call an internist a geriatric doctor.

Elderly people are more susceptible to chronic conditions like heart disease and arthritis, and certain illnesses like pneumonia. An internist is especially qualified to help a patient address or manage such conditions. The internist can provide short-term care, or long-term care to control symptoms. Dr. Nassar MD is an internist here at the office of Mohamed Nassar MD.

You should see a geriatric doctor if you’re a senior (65 or older) and don’t have a primary care physician right now, or if you have one but want specialized geriatric care too. A geriatric doctor can provide the services a general primary care physician can provide, but they’re specialized for seniors, and the geriatric doctor is more capable of helping seniors with chronic conditions like respiratory infections, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high blood cholesterol, chronic bronchitis, hypertension, hypothyroidism, osteoarthritis, and others. If you have such a condition, you may want or need to see a geriatric doctor about it.

There are many different and invaluable services an internist can provide, including minor injury care, minor illness care, physical exams, immunizations, continual care for a chronic condition, prescriptions, cancer screenings, pain management, preventive healthcare (to prevent common and chronic conditions), and more. The internist is a kind of primary care physician who’s fully capable of providing comprehensive care for seniors.

One of the biggest reasons to see an internist like Dr. Nassar is that the internist can create and be at the center of a network between multiple doctors with many specialties in order to provide the most comprehensive kind of healthcare!
