Geriatricians: Thanks for asking! I lifted following from www.americangeriatrics.org: "A geriatrician is a medical doctor who is specially trained to meet the unique healthcare needs of older adults...prevent, manage and develop care plans that address the special health problems of the elderly...often work as part of a team with other healthcare providers, including nurses, pharmacists and physical therapists."
