Geriatric Doctor in Newark & Wilmington
Age Well & Feel Your Best with Preventive Care
Our local, women-led practice helps older adults manage chronic conditions, stay ahead of health changes, and feel their best as they age.
Stay Healthy & Energized Throughout Your Golden Years
The right geriatric doctor in Newark and Wilmington will never make you feel rushed, dismissed, or tell you that every concern is just “part of aging.”
As a local, physician-owned practice, Preventive Primary Care is raising the standard for geriatric care, helping you age well with attentive, accessible care that large corporations can’t match.
Led by Dr. Anthony Alfieri, a cardiologist with 30+ years of experience, our all-female team uses backgrounds in primary care, cardiology, geriatrics, and internal medicine to support your long-term health.
We’re always accepting new patients, with next-day appointments often available and, in some cases, same-day visits. We also accept a range of insurance plans, including Medicaid and Medicare, making it easier to stay on top of your health during your golden years.
Getting older doesn’t have to mean putting your life on hold. Stay well with care that puts you first.
