If Choosing Wisely has a cheering section, it’s the geriatricians, doctors like Taler and Teno who specialize in elderly care. Dr. George Taler still makes house calls, driving his scuffed green Toyota sedan from one apartment to another, carrying a blue satchel with a laptop, hand sanitizer and a few medical tools. Inside each apartment, he practices medicine with old-fashioned care, spending half an hour with each patient. He has been doing this for more than 30 years, ever since the day that he was born in rural New Jersey.
