Looking for a woman geriatric doctor or geriatric pyschologist for my Mom. Any recommendations?

Try going to the websites of the local regional hospitals that are closest to your home. Usually these websites will have a place where you can search for certain specialty doctors, a photo and resume usually will be provided. I found many a new doctor that way :)

Call your local hospital and ask for a referral. You want a geriatric psychiatrist, not psychologist. Psychiatrist is an MD who can prescribe meds. In most states, Psychologists cannot.

I think I'd look for a geriatrician as a primary care doctor. She can deal with the weakness, incontinence, and acute illnesses that occur from time to time. You need a doctor you can call when Mom has a severe cough, for example.

The geriatrician may treat the depression or may refer your mom to a specialist.

Both my husband and my mother had the same woman geriatrician as their primary care doctor. She was awesome. I am wondering how long I should wait to switch to her myself! My husband also had a behavioral neurologist who treated his dementia.

A geriatrician is for older folks what a pediatrician is for kids. It is a specialty but serves as the primary care provider. Geriatricians and pediatricians both refer their patients out to specialists when the need arises. (Out pediatrician referred us to a pediatric cardiologist, for example.)

I'd really start with finding a geriatrician for the primary care doc.

Check out the website healthgrades. The site has ratings for doctors of every medical specialty, even ones I have never heard of.
