[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please more recs. Looking for someone for my 80-year-old Dad who is good health and just needs a great and reliable internist with admitting privileges. It’s impossible. Georgetown Medstar offered me two residents. We met one and they were clueless[/quote] When my mom was 80 I had her switch to a doctor who was raised and went to medical school in a foreign country. The doctor is much more realistic on what care is worth doing vs. what procedures you could do but doesn’t buy you much in terms of quality of life. You really don’t want the doctor who is doing the most aggressive treatments on people on their 80’s. The doctor instead spends more time talking and examining then just ordering test after test.
