The Geriatric and Family Services Clinic is a multi-disciplinary clinic dedicated to serving the needs of older adults and their families. We have cared for patients and their families since 1978.

Our staff includes geriatric psychiatrists, social workers, and medical assistants. We coordinate care with primary care doctors at UW Medical Center or with your own physician. We encourage family members to participate in every step, from referral through evaluation and treatment.

Interpreters can be arranged when needed.
