I'm Dr. Nicole Didyk, a medical doctor with board certification in Internal Medicine and Geriatric Medicine. As a doctor with over 20 years of experience caring for those over age 60, I make educational videos for older adults and those who care for them so that they can navigate the changes of aging with vitality and determination. ***DISCLAIMER***: Videos are not medical advice, and are for education purposes only. Dr. Didyk's answers to comments do not imply a therapeutic relationship. If you require urgent medical attention, call 911. For medical advice, see your own healthcare provider.
