I'm looking for a doctor, preferably in the Plano area, who specializes in working with elderly people. My 82-year-old mother is experiencing several health issues, and I'd like to take her to someone who understands the problems that people her age face.

My mother (83 years young) goes to Dr. Mark Fleschler at Presbyterian Dallas, but he might also practice at Presby Plano. She has been his patient for many years and really likes him. I do believe that he is considered a geriatric doctor. All I know is that he takes good care of my Mom, and he also refers her to excellent doctors when necessary.

Dear S.,
I just wanted to let you know about 2 companies that I think would help you. One is called A Perfect Solution. This is a senior care locating service. You can view the website at www.kimberlysperfectsolution.com. The other is called The Silver Files, a senior information site, and can be seen at www.thesilverfiles.com. I have been working in the geriatrics field for many years and started these companies to help seniors and their families find solutions to any issues that may arise in this stage of life. Please feel free to call us at ###-###-#### or visit the websites for any further information. Thank you again!

S., My Mom who is 84 moved in with us about 4 years ago. I was taking her to Dr. Anthony in Plano. The problem is finding physicians who are willing to take medicare patients. Dr. Anthony has 2 P.A. who are also great. I found him to be very compassionate and a good listener. His office is on Spring Creek at the Inova Family Physicians office. Good Luck!

Dr. Hammock in Presby Plano is good. Very soft spoken and willing to explain things, or at least this was the experience of my co-worker who's mother saw her. She is in the same practice as Drs. Tirandaz and Brown.

Dallas Diagnostics Association in the Baylor Plano Pavillion (Preston/George Bush Freeway)
The entire practice is excellent and the staff is very competent.
My husband and I both go this practice and have since they were originally officing at Medical City Dallas.
You will not be disappointed.
