What to expect

At your first appointment, a geriatrician will perform an in-depth health examination and ask you about your medical history.  

The geriatrician will then work with you to decide on a care plan that is specific to your needs. Your care plan may include any of the following:

• Follow-up appointments at the clinic to check on the status of your health and well-being
• Appointments with other specialists
• Home care
• Community services and programs

Please note we are a teaching hospital, so you may see medical students, residents or other medical trainees as part of your care. Learners are supervised by other members of our dedicated care team who work together to provide you with comprehensive care.

What to bring

• Health (OHIP) card or valid health-care coverage
• All the medications and supplements you use
• A list of your current physicians
• A support person, if desired

We recommend you wear loose-fitting clothing to all appointments in case we perform an examination.
