Wright State Physicians Geriatrics provides comprehensive, expert geriatric care for older adults. While family physicians, general internists and others provide care for many older adults — and do it very well — geriatricians focus on the relationship between managing diseases and maintaining function and quality of life. Our physicians are specially trained to treat older adults who have Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, falls, heart disease, incontinence, Parkinson’s disease, stroke or any other conditions that affect their quality of life.
