As a Geriatrician, I want to help you get the most out of your encounters with the health care community.  You may want advice on how to stay on the pathway of healthy aging yourself, or you may be a caregiver to an elder.  Sometimes, just a little guidance is all you need to get through the mine fields and come out on the other side in one piece. 

I have over 25 years experience practicing and teaching medicine, specializing in elder care, and counseling with hundreds of geriatric patients and their caregivers about how to stay as healthy as possible for as long as possible.  And, when good health is no longer a realistic possibility, I advise people on the best ways to achieve and maintain dignity until the end of their lives.  Click here to learn more About Dr. Root.
