Finding the right primary care provider is one of the most important health decisions you can make — especially as a Medicare patient. If you live in Glendale, AZ or nearby communities, Pinnacle Health in Sun City offers primary care designed specifically for older adults, with a focus on preventive medicine, chronic disease management, and personalized attention.
What Makes Senior-Focused Primary Care Different?
Not all primary care is the same. A provider who specializes in caring for older adults understands the unique ways aging affects the body and mind. At Pinnacle Health, Dr. Annie Khurana is trained in both family medicine and geriatrics, which means she brings specialized knowledge to every patient visit.
Senior-focused primary care includes expertise in:
- Age-related changes — understanding how conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and osteoporosis behave differently in older adults
- Medication interactions — knowing which drugs are safer for seniors and which carry higher risks
- Preventive screenings — staying current on which cancer screenings, bone density tests, and vaccinations are appropriate at each age
- Cognitive health — screening for early signs of dementia, depression, and anxiety
- Cardiovascular risk — monitoring heart health with a focus on age-appropriate goals
- Functional independence — helping patients maintain mobility, balance, and daily living skills

How to Choose the Right Primary Care Doctor
Not sure what to look for in a primary care provider? Here are the key factors Medicare patients in Glendale should consider:
1. Do They Accept Your Medicare Plan?
Always confirm that the provider accepts original Medicare and your specific supplement or Advantage plan. Pinnacle Health accepts Medicare and most major insurance plans.
2. Do They Have Geriatric Experience?
A doctor with geriatric training understands the complexities of caring for older adults — from medication management to fall prevention to end-of-life planning. Dr. Khurana is fellowship-trained in geriatric medicine.
3. Can You Get Same-Day Appointments?
When you're not feeling well, waiting days or weeks for an appointment isn't acceptable. Pinnacle Health offers same-day and next-day appointments so you can be seen when you need care.
4. Do They Coordinate with Specialists?
If you see multiple doctors, your primary care provider should be the hub — coordinating referrals, reviewing specialist recommendations, and ensuring everyone is on the same page.
5. Do They Take Time to Listen?
You deserve a doctor who doesn't rush you. At Pinnacle Health, Dr. Khurana is known for her thorough, patient-centered approach — taking the time to explain diagnoses, answer questions, and involve you in decisions about your care.
Pinnacle Health checks every one of these boxes.
