But what is the difference between the care provided by a geriatrician and that of other specialties? Geriatrics acts as a point of convergence where multiple pathologies find a common denominator: the older adult. In this way, the specialist in older adults becomes the “coordinator” of the medical team caring for a patient. For example, while a person may be treated by Neurology, Gastroenterology, or Surgery, the geriatrician makes the appropriate modifications and adjustments to the treatment, adapting it to the patient’s individual needs and avoiding adverse events caused by medications that, while safe for younger people, can be harmful to older adults.

Dr. Daniel Rodríguez Pontones, with over 10 years of experience in senior care, is dedicated to providing comprehensive, empathetic, and personalized care. His approach combines human warmth with high precision in diagnosis and treatment, allowing him to assist his patients and their families with sensitivity, respect, and professionalism at every stage of aging.

 For Dr. Rodríguez, geriatrics is more than a medical specialty: it’s an art form. Each older adult represents a unique story, a canvas filled with experiences, emotions, and complexity that cannot be addressed with rigid or arbitrary solutions. With 13 years in the field, he has learned that effective treatment goes beyond clinical diagnosis: it requires sensitivity, intuition, and often creativity.

 As in art, good geriatric care is based on careful observation, deep understanding, and humane response. In her practice, she combines medical rigor with a holistic approach, adapting each therapeutic strategy to the patient’s individual reality, utilizing diverse tools and personalized approaches that often deviate from the conventional. Thus, each encounter becomes an opportunity to improve quality of life, with respect, warmth, precision, and a whole lot of love.
