Geriatric medicine focuses on the health of elderly people. As they age, many people experience age-related health problems, such as fragile bones, skin problems, and issues with eyesight and hearing. Doctors who specialize in geriatric medicine can provide services and solutions for many of these problems. Not only do these physicians treat potential problems, but they also work with patients as they age to help them maintain health, mobility, and quality of life.
