@brklimeks A good internal medicine dr plus a nephrologist might be a great combination for you. If you have a geriatrician within your community, that person could be in place of the internist. In my experience, I have usually set an appointment, and interviewed the dr to see if they are a good fit for me. I do not want to waste my time, their time, and resources to work with someone I will not benefit from.
Good luck, let me know what you decide, and if I can assist further?
