Dr. Bordoloi sees patients at Manipal Hospital Broadway's Geriatrics outpatient department. Consultations are for elderly patients who need specialist geriatric input — whether for a new concern, a second opinion, or ongoing management of complex age-related conditions.
A Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) is the clinical gold standard for evaluating elderly patients. Unlike a standard OPD consultation that addresses a single complaint, a CGA evaluates the whole person — function, cognition, nutrition, medications, mood, and social support — in a single structured encounter.
In elderly patients, problems rarely come in isolation. A fall may be linked to a medication side effect, which is itself linked to an unrecognised cognitive decline. A CGA is designed to find these connections and produce a unified care plan — not a list of organ-specific referrals.
Dr. Bordoloi is formally trained in CGA and applies it as standard at every consultation. Every patient leaves with a written summary that their family can read and their other treating doctors can use.
What a CGA covers
Geriatric medicine addresses the full complexity of ageing — not single diseases in isolation.
A geriatric consultation is different from a standard OPD visit. Here's what the process looks like.
Many families wait too long. These are the clearest signals that a specialist geriatric assessment is needed.
