Geriatric Doctor

Can anyone recommend a good geriatric doctor in the area? 


I took my MIL to a geriatric specialist, Dr. Heath, with Summit Medical Group out in Berkeley Heights.  He was extremely nice and he put her at ease.  He flattered her, got her to dance with him (motor ability screening) asked her lots of questions about herself (conversational screening), discussed household situations etc.  I am not exactly sure what his exact medical purpose was because he was VERY CLEAR that he would not be her primary doctor.  

At Dr. Heath's suggestion, we  switched her primary care doctor to Dr. Paris at the same location.  Dr. Paris was FANTASTIC.  Heath and Paris worked as a team and I was very happy with their attention to my MIL as well as their ability to work with me, her caregiver.


Thank you so much! Sounds like the perfect doctor for my grandma.
