Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Amiel Levin provides expert, compassionate care for a range of conditions common in older adults, with a focus on managing symptoms and maintaining function. Common areas of focus include:
- Secondary Renovascular Hypertension: High blood pressure from reduced blood flow to your kidneys (secondary renovascular hypertension) may be treatable with medication or procedures to improve blood flow, which is vital for maintaining a healthy heart and reducing the risk of strokes or heart attacks.

- Urogenital Candidiasis: Urogenital candidiasis, a type of yeast infection, can be effectively managed with medication, helping you regain comfort and maintain your daily activities.
- Osteomalacia: Osteomalacia is a condition where your bones become soft and weak due to a lack of vitamin D, making them more prone to fractures and impacting your mobility.

- Gonorrhea Infections: Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that, if left untreated, can cause serious health problems, but with prompt medical attention and antibiotics, it's easily treatable and won't impact your daily life.
- Dizziness: Experiencing dizziness can be unsettling, but many causes are treatable, allowing seniors to regain confidence and maintain their independence through appropriate medical care.
- Throat Pain: Persistent throat pain can impact your ability to eat and swallow, making it difficult to maintain a healthy diet. Seeking medical attention can lead to a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, reducing discomfort and helping you stay nourished.
- Nasopharyngitis: A simple cold (nasopharyngitis) is a common viral infection that causes uncomfortable symptoms like runny nose and cough, but usually gets better on its own within a week or two with supportive care to maintain your daily routine.
- Testicular Dysfunction: Testicular dysfunction refers to problems with the testicles that can affect hormone production and sexual function, and it's often manageable with medical treatments to improve comfort and overall well-being.
- Urge Incontinence: Treatment for urge incontinence aims to reduce the frequency of accidents and improve your quality of life by giving you more control over your bladder and reducing worry.
