Geriatric Psychiatry
As people age, they may encounter unique challenges that require specialized attention and understanding. Dr. Raymond Zakhari, NP addresses the mental health needs of our elderly community with compassion and expertise.
Geriatric Care That Connects the Dots
When an aging parent starts juggling multiple doctors, conflicting medications, and frequent ER visits, it’s clear something is missing: continuity, oversight, and a single provider who sees the full picture.
