Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Sannia Javed 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:

- Allergic Conjunctivitis: Experiencing eye irritation due to allergies? Allergic conjunctivitis is a treatable condition causing eye itching, redness, and watering; with proper management, you can reduce symptoms and continue enjoying your life without interruption.
- ADHD and-or ADD: ADHD and ADD are conditions that can make it hard to focus, stay organized, and control impulses, but with proper treatment, such as medication and therapy, seniors can significantly improve their daily lives and maintain independence.
