Telehealth and In-Clinic Visits Available 

As we continue to navigate the Covid-19 pandemic, UNC Geriatrics will work with you to accommodate preferences for how you’d like to be seen. We are primarily seeing patients in clinic, however we can offer video visits if required. For clinic visits we ask that only one person accompany you and that you wear a mask. We will provide you with a clean mask as you enter our facility.

Award Winning and Highly Rated

UNC Geriatrics is the largest primary care practice in the Triangle focused exclusively on older adults. We work with patients 65 and older, and their families, to provide high-quality care that is grounded in the latest research and best practices; guide transitions from one level of care to another; and coordinate treatment with outside specialists. UNC Geriatrics typically sees patients who are 65 and older, however patients under 65 can be seen if they’re experiencing age-related issues such as dementia, falls, incontinence, or other geriatric syndromes.
