Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Max Feldman 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:
- Herpes Zoster Without Complication: If you've had chickenpox, the virus can reactivate later in life as shingles, causing a painful rash; however, with timely treatment, the pain and duration can be significantly lessened.
- Bronchiectasis: Bronchiectasis involves damage to the tubes in your lungs, causing a persistent cough with phlegm and potential recurring infections; however, treatment focuses on managing symptoms and preventing complications, improving your overall well-being.
- Chronic Neck Pain: If persistent neck pain is limiting your daily activities, know that there are effective treatments available. We can help you explore options to manage your pain and increase your quality of life.

- Pneumonia: If you have pneumonia, it means your lungs are inflamed due to an infection, potentially impacting your breathing; however, medical care, including medication and supportive therapies, helps manage symptoms and get you back on your feet.
- Osteoarthritis: While osteoarthritis's joint pain and reduced mobility can be concerning, effective management with your healthcare team, including pain relievers and therapies, allows you to maintain your daily routines and enjoy an active lifestyle.
- Seborrheic Dermatitis: Managing the symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis, which include flaky skin and itching, is important to avoid scratching and potential skin infections; a healthcare professional can help find the right treatment plan for you.
- Anemia: If you have anemia, it means your body lacks sufficient red blood cells, resulting in tiredness and reduced stamina; however, with proper diagnosis and treatment, you can regain your vitality and maintain your independence.
- Muscle Weakness: Experiencing unexplained muscle weakness? Your doctor can help determine the underlying cause – whether it's a vitamin deficiency, medication side effect, or another medical condition – and develop a treatment plan to help you feel stronger.
- Obesity: Obesity is a condition where you have more body fat than is healthy, potentially causing joint pain and other issues, yet a tailored treatment strategy can ease these symptoms and enhance your comfort.
- Confusion: Experiencing confusion can be unsettling, but it's important to remember that many treatable medical conditions, like infections or medication side effects, can cause it. Early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve your cognitive function and independence.
- Fibromyalgia: Fibromyalgia can lead to widespread pain and exhaustion, making daily tasks challenging, but a multi-faceted approach, combining medication, exercise, and stress management, can significantly help you maintain your independence and well-being.
