Geriatric care in Fairfax, Virginia

Primary care for older adults should make room for everyday concerns as well as medical conditions. Active Medical Care in Fairfax offers geriatric primary care with Dr. Nisa Masood, MD. Visits can focus on what matters to you: understanding your medicines, keeping track of follow-up appointments and discussing changes that affect your daily life.

What to expect

The doctor can review your medical history, current medicines, recent test results and the clinicians involved in your care. You may discuss mobility, falls, memory concerns, sleep, hearing or other changes. The scope of a visit is based on your needs rather than a fixed checklist for every older adult. A medication review can help identify questions to discuss with the clinicians who prescribe them. Preventive services, referrals and follow-up may also be considered. Ask the doctor to explain the plan in plain language and clarify who is responsible for the next steps, particularly when several specialists are involved.

Who it's for

This service is for older adults seeking ongoing primary care, a new doctor or follow-up after care elsewhere. If you would like a family member or caregiver involved, discuss that with the office and the doctor. Your preferences and privacy remain important. Tell the office about access needs or assistance you may require; parking and wheelchair-access details should be confirmed before your visit.

Preparing for your visit

Bring an up-to-date medication list, including nonprescription medicines and supplements, and a list of your other clinicians. If possible, bring relevant discharge instructions or recent results. Write down your main concerns and any changes you have noticed. You may ask a trusted person to help organize information or join the visit with your permission. Ask the office how to transfer records securely instead of sending private medical details by ordinary email.
