Geriatric Care Reimagined
- Do you spend prolonged time waiting for returned calls only to be told to go to Urgent Care or the Emergency Department?
- Are clinic appointments required for even the most straightforward medical request?
- Are clinic appointments too short or too rushed to address all of your health concerns?
- Do you feel like healthcare is all about money and not about care?
- Do you get the Medical HealthCare Run around, multiple referrals with no ownership or Captain of the Care Plan?
- Are you concerned about excessive medications and side effects that your provider refuses to discuss?
- Does ageism color each encounter?
- Do you feel like a number in the system?
Then Golden Medical Care is Your Answer.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Golden Medical Care family!
