Elizabeth Landsverk, MD is the founder of ElderConsult Geriatric Medicine, a house-call practice, and Dr Liz Geriatrics, an online education and telehealth provider. Dr Landsverk has been triple-board-certified in internal medicine, geriatric medicine, and palliative care medicine and has served both as an assistant professor of medicine at University of California, San Francisco and as a consultant for the San Francisco Elder Abuse Forensics Center. Through her house-call practice, Dr. Landsverk has helped thousands of elders. As an expert in managing dementia agitation without sedation, she's kept many of those patients, deemed âunplaceable,â from eviction or languishing in the hospital. Sheâs now distilling that knowledge and more into practical, easily implemented tips and processes. Through Dr Liz Geriatrics, she and her team provide direct advice and support to individual families along with educating healthcare workers, lawyers, guardians, and anyone else who works professionally with elders.
