Senior-Focused Specialization
Our entire practice is built around adults 65 and older — not squeezed in around everyone else.
Comprehensive, Compassionate Medical Care for Older Adults in Pittsburgh
Specialized geriatric medicine for seniors in Pittsburgh with the quality and warmth you deserve.
Who We Serve
Care built around older adults and the caregivers who assist and support them.
We specialize in comprehensive care for adults 55 and older, including but not limited to managing multiple chronic conditions, memory concerns, and complex medication needs.
If you are an adult child or caregiver researching care on someone else's behalf, you are in the right place. We strive to educate and coordinate an understanding of the process and plan needed to optimize the needs of the older adult patient. We answer questions plainly, include families in the plan, and take time to ensure the patient, the caregiver team, and the physician agree on the path ahead.
