Default Need general doctor for 101-year-old

We recently moved here with my dad who is 101 years old and in reasonably good health. Does anybody have recommendations of general practitioners who are experienced with patients in this age category.
His cardiologist back in Ohio suggested finding a geriatrician. I have seen some doctors call themselves geriatricians but don't know if that is actually an additional certification or just an area of experience.
Thanks.
