Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. John McCormick 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:
- Seborrheic Dermatitis: This skin condition, seborrheic dermatitis, presents as redness and scaling, and while it can be bothersome, it's usually treatable with over-the-counter or prescription medications to help maintain your quality of life.
- Insomnia: For older adults, restful sleep is essential for maintaining independence and a high quality of life. If insomnia is affecting your ability to function, know that there are many safe and effective treatments available to help you get the sleep you need.
- Pharyngitis: While a sore throat (pharyngitis) can be bothersome, especially for older adults, simple treatments like gargling with salt water and drinking warm liquids can often provide significant relief.

- Blood in Urine (Hematuria): Blood in the urine, or hematuria, may be a sign of a minor issue or something more serious, but prompt medical attention can lead to effective diagnosis and management to improve your health.
- Animal Allergies: Animal allergies happen when your immune system mistakenly reacts to pet dander, saliva, or other animal substances, causing symptoms like sneezing, itching, or rash, but these can often be managed with medication and avoiding triggers to improve your comfort.
- Bedsores: Managing bedsores involves preventing further pressure, keeping the skin clean and dry, and using special dressings to promote healing, thus enhancing comfort and preventing infection.
- Urinary Incontinence: Urinary incontinence, or loss of bladder control, affects many older adults and often improves with simple adjustments to diet, fluid intake, and bathroom habits, along with potential medical interventions.
- Diabetes: Diabetes can affect many parts of your body, but by closely monitoring your blood sugar and following your treatment plan, you can reduce the risk of serious complications and enjoy a better quality of life.
- Herpes Zoster Without Complication: Managing shingles effectively involves antiviral medications and pain relief to improve comfort and help you maintain your daily activities.
