Hi , My Dad Is 84 And Has Always Been

Hi , My Dad is 84 and has always been in good health , but seems this past 6 months or so getting really bad with losing strength in his legs. He is tall and slim about 6ft 2"and weighs about 190 or so.
He won't sit on the couch now because he can't get up , to low . He is using a patio chair . We took him to a restaurant yesterday and because he sat to long he couldn't get up. Took him about 6 or 7 tries. I can't talk him into going to a Dr because he doesn't know what type of Dr to see. Doesn't want to go from Dr to Dr . Any ideas to what is going on ??
