“We have not lost faith, but we have transferred it from God to the medical profession.” George Bernard Shaw, 1856-1950 “The cure of many diseases remains unknown to the physicians of Hellos (Greece) because they do not study the whole person.” Socrates, 470-399 BC
“...the right of the individual to elect freely the manner of his care in illness must be preserved.” David Dwight Eisenhower, 1890-1969 “A physician is obligated to consider more than a diseased organ, more even than the whole man - he must view the man in his world.” Harvey Cushing, M.D., 1869-1939 “To live long, live slowly.” Cicero, 106-43 BC “The education of the doctor which goes on after he has his degree is, after all, the most important part of his education.” John Shaw Billings, 1838-1913 “The greatest mistake in the treatment of diseases is that there are physicians for the body and physicians for the soul, although the two cannot be separated.” Plato, 428-348 BC “In the sick room, ten cents' worth of human understanding equals ten dollars' worth of medical science.” Martin H. Fischer, 1879-1962 “The practice of medicine is an art, not a trade; a calling, not a business; a calling in which your heart will be exercised equally with your head.” Sir William Osler, M.D., 1849-1919 “To cure sometimes, to relieve often, to comfort always.” Edward Livingston Trudeau, M.D., 1848-1915

Montecito Geriatric

serving Santa Barbara County since 1988

Dr. Todd Fearer specializes in geriatric medicine, treating the sometimes complex medical  problems of older adults. He is skilled in the diagnostic, therapeutic, preventive, and rehabilitative aspects of illness in the elderly. His practice focuses on health promotion and the treatment of disease and disability of later life.

Elderly patients often have multiple co-morbidities, use multiple medications, and may face social disadvantages, emotional vulnerability, or financial challenges. Given the types of problems that elderly adults and their families face, Dr. Fearer employs his long experience and varied skills to treat challenging acute and chronic diseases. He takes a whole-person and family approach, providing care for geriatric patients at his office in Santa Barbara, California.
