Reach out — any way that feels right
Call us, fill out the form below, or ask your discharge planner to send a referral. No prior geriatric diagnosis required. If you're wondering whether a geriatrician is right for your situation, that question alone is reason enough to call.
We gather the full picture before you arrive
Our care coordinator requests records from every provider — primary care, specialists, hospitalizations. We read them before your first appointment so you don't spend ninety minutes reciting history. We arrive prepared.
Your first visit: ninety minutes, no rush
The comprehensive geriatric assessment covers your medical history, every medication, cognitive screening if appropriate, fall risk, home safety, and what matters most to you in your care. Caregivers and family members are welcome and encouraged.
A follow-up call within 48 hours
After your first visit, your physician calls personally to answer questions that surfaced on the drive home, confirm the care plan, and make sure nothing fell through the space between appointment and action.
In their own words
My mother had been on eleven medications. After her first visit at Tend, she left with seven. Her neurologist had never questioned the combination — but Dr. Reyes caught it in forty minutes.

Managing Parkinson's + type 2 diabetes
I called at 11:30 on a Tuesday night after Dad fell again. The intake form asked what prompted me to reach out. That one question made me realize this practice actually wanted to understand the situation, not just schedule a slot.

Father recovering from second fall
I'm a retired internist managing my own Parkinson's. I know exactly what a fifteen-minute appointment can and cannot do. Tend does what I always wished I'd had time for with my own patients.
