WHY CHOOSE SENIOR MEDICAL CARE?

Our dedicated senior medical care team provides specialized more specialized services to manage chronic conditions, prevent illness, and enhance overall quality of life. We understand the unique needs of older adults and offer compassionate, comprehensive care — all coordinated by experienced providers.
Aging brings wisdom, perspective, and a lifetime of experience, but it also brings a shifting set of health needs that require more consistent, coordinated attention than most people receive.
Managing one or more chronic conditions while staying on top of preventive care, medication, and specialist referrals can quickly become overwhelming without the right medical team behind you.
At Newport Beach Urgent Care, we provide senior medical care in Orange County designed to meet older adults where they are. Whether you're managing a long-term condition, need a trusted provider for ongoing care, or are looking for a more accessible alternative to a crowded primary care office, our team is here to help.
Here's what you need to know about senior health, the conditions we treat, and how we support older adults throughout Orange County.
The State of Senior Health in the United States
A Growing Population with Complex Needs
The United States is aging rapidly. According to the Administration for Community Living, Americans 65 and older numbered 57.8 million in 2022, representing more than 1 in every 6 Americans, a figure expected to reach 22% of the total population by 2040.
As this population grows, so does the demand for high-quality, accessible senior medical care in communities like Orange County.
Older adults don't just need more care; they need a different kind of care.
Age-related changes in physiology, metabolism, and immune function mean that conditions present differently, medications interact more readily, and recovery takes longer. A provider experienced in geriatric health understands these distinctions and brings them to every patient encounter.
Why Chronic Condition Management Matters
According to the National Council on Aging, approximately 93% of adults aged 65 and older have at least one chronic condition, and nearly 80% have two or more.
Managing multiple conditions simultaneously requires more than individual treatment plans; it requires coordination, communication, and a provider who understands how each condition interacts with the others.
At our clinic, we treat senior patients as whole individuals, not a collection of isolated diagnoses. Our team takes time to review the full picture of each patient's health before making recommendations, and we work closely with any specialists involved to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

Common Health Concerns We Address in Senior Patients
Cardiovascular and Metabolic Conditions
Heart disease, hypertension, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes are among the most prevalent conditions affecting older adults.
According to the CDC, high blood pressure affects 61% of adults aged 65 and older, high cholesterol affects 55%, and arthritis affects 51%, making these the three most commonly reported conditions in this age group.
Each of these conditions requires regular monitoring, medication management, and lifestyle guidance to keep them under control.
Our team is experienced in managing these conditions within the broader context of a senior patient's overall health. We conduct thorough evaluations, review medication regimens for potential interactions, and work with patients to build sustainable management plans that support long-term wellbeing.
Mobility, Fall Risk, and Musculoskeletal Health
Falls are one of the most serious health risks facing older adults. The NCOA reports that 3 million adults 65 and older are treated in emergency departments for unintentional fall injuries each year, and that falls are the leading cause of both fatal and nonfatal injuries in this population.
Arthritis, balance issues, medication side effects, and declining muscle strength all contribute to fall risk.
We take a proactive approach to musculoskeletal health in our senior patients, evaluating mobility concerns, reviewing medications that may impair balance or coordination, and providing splinting and bracing for injuries when needed.
Addressing these issues early is one of the most effective ways to preserve independence and prevent serious injury in Orange County senior patients.
What Senior Medical Care Looks Like at Our Clinic
Comprehensive Annual Physical Exams
Routine annual physical exams are one of the most important tools available for maintaining senior health. At our clinic, annual exams for older adults go beyond standard vital sign checks.
We review all current medications, screen for conditions common in aging patients, assess cognitive and physical function, and evaluate any new or changing symptoms that may have emerged since the last visit.
We also use the annual exam as an opportunity to discuss preventive care, including cancer screening options such as the Galleri multi-cancer early detection test, which we offer in-office.
Early detection remains one of the most effective ways to improve outcomes for older adults, and we make it easy to access these tools without scheduling multiple appointments at different facilities.
Same-Day and Walk-In Access for Acute Needs
Senior patients don't always have the luxury of waiting a week or more for an appointment when a new symptom appears. We offer walk-in and same-day availability seven days a week, giving older adults and their families a reliable option when something needs to be addressed promptly.
Whether it's an infection, an injury, a flare-up of a chronic condition, or an unexpected change in health status, our team is available without the delays of a traditional primary care office.
Our clinic is conveniently located across from Fashion Island in Newport Beach, making us accessible to seniors throughout Orange County. We accept a range of insurance plans, including Medicare patients through our Chronic Care Management program.
Long-Term Senior Care Support
Chronic Care Management for Older Adults
For senior patients managing multiple ongoing conditions, we offer a dedicated Chronic Care Management (CCM) program developed through Medicare. The program is designed for patients with two or more chronic conditions and provides a level of coordination and support that goes well beyond standard office visits.
Key features include personalized care plans, regular check-ins, coordinated communication with all healthcare providers involved in a patient's care, and around-the-clock access to our healthcare professionals for guidance between appointments.
We also offer Remote Patient Monitoring, which allows our team to track vital health data from the comfort of the patient's home and intervene early when concerning trends emerge.
Hormone Replacement Therapy for Age-Related Changes
Hormonal changes are a significant but often overlooked component of aging, affecting energy levels, mood, metabolism, bone density, and more. We offer Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) under the supervision of Dr. Bryan Doonan, tailored to each patient's specific hormonal profile and health history.
This service is available to both men and women experiencing age-related hormonal decline and is integrated into a patient's broader care plan rather than offered in isolation.
