Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Remo Raina 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:
- Sarcoidosis: Sarcoidosis is a disease where tiny clumps of inflammatory cells form in different parts of the body, often the lungs, causing symptoms like cough, fatigue, and shortness of breath, but it can be managed with medication to improve your comfort and daily life.
- Mild Asthma: Mild asthma is a type of lung disease that causes some breathing difficulties, but it's often easily controlled with medication, allowing you to maintain your independence and enjoy your daily activities with minimal disruption.
- Kidney Infection: A kidney infection, also known as pyelonephritis, is a serious infection that needs prompt medical attention to prevent lasting kidney damage and improve your comfort.
- Dysentery: Experiencing bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain and fever might indicate dysentery; getting prompt treatment, which may include rehydration and medication, is key to managing this infection and preventing serious complications, allowing you to maintain your independence.
- Adult Failure to Thrive: When older adults experience unexplained weight loss, weakness, and decreased social engagement, it may be Adult Failure to Thrive (AFTT), a condition managed by carefully reviewing their health, lifestyle, and environment to regain their strength and vitality.
- Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): UTIs are infections in your urinary system, often causing pain and urgency when you urinate. Fortunately, UTIs are usually treatable with antibiotics, helping you to feel more comfortable and prevent serious complications.
- Overweight: Overweight is when your body mass index (BMI) is higher than recommended, potentially putting you at risk for various health complications, however, with the help of your doctor, a gradual weight loss plan tailored to your needs can reduce those risks and promote better health.
- Blood in Urine (Hematuria): Finding blood in your urine doesn't have to disrupt your life; with a doctor's assessment and a personalized treatment plan, you can often manage the underlying cause and keep living comfortably.
- Radiculopathy: Radiculopathy is a condition where a nerve root in your spine is compressed or irritated, causing pain, numbness, or weakness in your arm or leg, and treatment can help you manage pain and maintain your independence.
- Acidosis: Acidosis is a medical condition affecting your body's acid levels, sometimes causing symptoms like nausea or breathing difficulty; working with your healthcare provider can lead to better symptom control and a higher quality of life.
- Hernia: If you have a bulge or discomfort in your abdomen, you might have a hernia, a condition where an organ pushes through a weakened area; medical intervention, which could involve minimally invasive surgery, may be needed to prevent serious complications.
- Venous Compression: Venous compression can lead to issues like swelling and aching legs, but treatments like elevating your legs and using compression garments can significantly improve comfort and prevent complications.
This list highlights some common health concerns and is for informational purposes. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional based on your specific health history.

- Electrocardiogram (EKG): If you experience chest pain or shortness of breath, an EKG helps your doctor quickly diagnose the cause, providing timely intervention to prevent serious complications and ensuring your safety.
- Fecal Occult Blood Test for Colorectal Cancer: By detecting microscopic blood in your stool, the fecal occult blood test plays a critical role in early diagnosis and management of colorectal cancer, a common concern for seniors.
