Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Jan Dobrowolski 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:
- Actinic Keratosis: Actinic keratosis is a common, rough, scaly patch on the skin caused by sun exposure, often appearing as a precancerous lesion that can be easily treated to prevent skin cancer.
- Prostatitis: If you're a man experiencing frequent urination, burning, or pain in the pelvic area, you may have prostatitis. Your doctor can help develop a treatment plan that will alleviate these symptoms and allow you to live more comfortably.
- Essential Tremor: Essential tremor is a type of shaking that gets better with treatment, allowing seniors to better manage activities and enjoy a more fulfilling life.

- Limb Swelling: Swollen arms or legs can impact your ability to move freely; your doctor can help identify the underlying cause and recommend treatment to improve your independence and quality of life.
- Ear Ache: Experiencing ear pain? It's important to seek medical attention to determine the cause and get appropriate treatment, potentially avoiding hearing loss or further discomfort.
- Asthma: Experiencing wheezing, chest tightness, or shortness of breath might indicate asthma, a treatable condition that, with the right care, can allow you to enjoy your daily activities without significant limitations.
