Sounds reasonable to me.

Geriatric specialists are good doctors too. We all will need one eventually. I could probably use a geriatric specialist too except my autoimmune problems all started in my late 30s. Now that I'm 70 ... maybe I should consult a geriatric specialist.

I changed from an internist to a geriatric specialist when I turned 70 (73 now). My previous GP - who I had for years - became very dismissive and I felt completely marginalized. My GS came highly recommended and said I was her youngest patient!
