We recognize TPMG Day on July 21st and kick off the celebration with our annual TPMG Spirit Week starting on Monday, July 17th. If you happen to be visiting one of our locations this week, look for team spirit, fun themes, and even creative costumes. We thank you for being a valued TPMG patient!
Geriatric Medicine
Geriatric medicine is a branch of internal medicine focused on the care of older adults. TPMG’s board certified and fellowship trained geriatricians provide comprehensive primary care services such as prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
Aging adults experience a higher risk of some chronic diseases. TPMG’s geriatricians are vital for the diagnosis and treatment of multiple complex disorders associated with aging, including Alzheimer’s, dementia, and hypertension. They are trained to understand the presentation of disease relative to normal aging.
Our geriatricians understand the importance of our patient’s autonomy and endeavor to ensure you maintain your functional independence by focusing on preventative interventions. Adults who see a geriatrician are less likely to end up in the hospital because our physicians are already on the lookout for indicators of disorders.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ – Choosing a Primary Care Provider
What is primary care provider?
Primary care providers or physicians are your partners in all aspects of health, including mental health, physical health, and emotional health. Through each phase of your life, look to your primary care provider, your go-to for medical questions, treatment, and specialist referral.
What should I expect from my primary care provider?
You should expect a long-term relationship that includes trust, treatment, and accessibility.
Why is having a primary care provider so important?
Having a primary care provider is essential to your health. Primary care providers will guide you in making the best, informed healthcare decisions. They learn everything about you – your medical history and your family medical history and start treatment from there.
Do I need a referral from my primary care provider to see a specialist?
Your TPMG primary care provider knows you and your medical history and will help you chose the best provider out there for your individual needs.
