Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Robbie PA-C 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:
- Hydrocele: Sometimes, a fluid buildup occurs around the testicles, creating a painless lump called a hydrocele; a doctor can assess the need for treatment and make you feel more at ease.
- Seronegative Rheumatoid Arthritis: Living with seronegative rheumatoid arthritis means managing joint pain and inflammation through medication, physical therapy, and possibly other therapies to improve your overall quality of life.
- Cyclical Vomiting: Managing cyclical vomiting involves identifying triggers, such as certain foods or stress, and developing strategies to avoid them, helping seniors maintain their independence and enjoy life more fully.
- Gastric Erosion: Gastric erosion is a common issue where the protective layer of your stomach is worn down, potentially leading to discomfort; the good news is that with proper care, including medication and lifestyle adjustments, most people see significant improvement in their symptoms and overall well-being.
- Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis: Don't let seasonal allergies control your life. Effective management, including medications and avoidance strategies, can significantly reduce symptoms and ensure you can continue to enjoy your independence and daily routines.
- Diabetes Type 1: Type 1 diabetes is a condition where your body doesn't make enough insulin, a hormone needed to use sugar for energy, requiring careful management with insulin injections or a pump to maintain blood sugar levels and overall health.
- Overuse Injuries: Overuse injuries are common as we age, but with careful management involving rest, stretching, and potentially physical therapy, seniors can prevent further damage and maintain their independence.
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.

- Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) Scan: This simple test, a DEXA scan, provides valuable information about your bone health, allowing your doctor to make informed decisions about your treatment and monitor changes over time.
- Immigration Physical Examination: This exam helps establish a healthcare record, supporting continuity of care as you navigate the healthcare system in your new community.
- Soft Tissue Injections: To help you age comfortably, your doctor may use soft tissue injections to address specific pain points and reduce inflammation, improving your overall health and well-being.
- Antibiotic Therapy: Using antibiotics as part of your senior care plan helps reduce the duration and severity of bacterial infections, allowing for a quicker return to normal activities and a higher quality of life.
- Mental Status Examination: As part of your comprehensive care plan, a mental status exam aids in diagnosing conditions like dementia or depression and guides treatment decisions.
- Audiogram: As part of your routine check-up, an audiogram can detect hearing loss, allowing for early intervention with hearing aids or other strategies to improve communication.
