Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Scott Bosy 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:
- Sleep Apnea: Sleep apnea disrupts your sleep cycle by causing pauses in breathing, but with proper medical attention and potentially a simple device used at night, you can experience better sleep and more energy during the day.
- Gastroparesis: If you have gastroparesis, your stomach muscles don't work as well as they should, causing fullness, nausea, and vomiting; however, dietary changes and medication can significantly improve your digestion and daily life.
- Hypokalemia: Experiencing muscle cramps, weakness, or heart palpitations? Low potassium (hypokalemia) might be the cause. Fortunately, this is often manageable with a personalized treatment plan from your doctor, improving your comfort and ability to participate in activities you enjoy.
- Fibromyalgia: Living with fibromyalgia means experiencing persistent pain and other symptoms like fatigue, but with the right care, including physical therapy and medication, you can find ways to cope and live more comfortably.
- Acute Kidney Infection: If you have a sudden kidney infection, it means bacteria have infected your kidneys, causing discomfort and other symptoms; treatment usually involves antibiotics to clear the infection and allow you to live comfortably again.
- Anemia: Feeling unusually tired or weak? Anemia might be the cause, as it involves a deficiency of red blood cells; your doctor can help determine the underlying reason and develop a treatment plan to improve your strength and daily functioning.
- Cough: If you're struggling with a persistent cough, remember that you're not alone and there are many options available to help manage your symptoms and improve your overall well-being.
- 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.
- Acute Lower Respiratory Infection: An acute lower respiratory infection (ALRI) is a sudden infection in your lungs or airways, which might cause you to cough, feel tired, or have trouble breathing; with the right care, you can effectively manage symptoms and maintain your overall well-being.
- Swine Flu: Swine flu, or influenza A (H1N1), is a respiratory infection that can cause fever, cough, and body aches, but with prompt medical attention and rest, it can be effectively managed to minimize discomfort and allow you to recover quickly.
- Kidney Infection: Kidney infections, while concerning, are treatable with medical care, and early diagnosis and treatment can help you feel better and prevent serious health issues.
- Candidiasis of Skin and Nails: If you have a fungal infection like candidiasis on your skin or nails, don't worry—antifungal creams or oral medications can often clear it up, making it easier to manage daily hygiene and activities.
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.
To provide comprehensive and person-centered care, Dr. Scott Bosy offers a range of services designed to diagnose, manage, and support the health of older adults:

- Electrocardiogram (EKG): As part of your routine checkup, an EKG can help identify early signs of heart disease, allowing for proactive management of your condition and improve your overall well-being.
- 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.
- Immunization Administration: Through timely immunizations, we can help prevent hospitalizations and complications related to infectious diseases, keeping seniors healthier and more active.
- Smoking Cessation Counseling: For seniors, smoking cessation counseling provides expert guidance and support to successfully quit smoking, leading to better cardiovascular and respiratory health.
