Dr Yves Choi is a Geriatrician and Aged Care Specialist based in Box Hill, VIC. He works from 1 Arnold Street, Box Hill VIC 3128. Dr Choi helps older people and carers deal with the everyday health issues that can come with ageing.
His clinic visits often focus on keeping people well, not just treating one problem. Annual wellness exams are a big part of the work, especially when someone wants a clear check-in on how they are going day to day. In many cases, that includes looking at medicines, day-to-day function, and general wellbeing.
Medication management is another common need. As people get older, it can be hard to keep track of different tablets and changes over time. Dr Choi works through what each medicine is for, and whether any adjustments make sense for comfort and safety.
Fall risk is also a key focus. Falls can happen for lots of reasons, like balance changes, muscle weakness, or side effects from medicines. Dr Choi does fall risk assessments to help spot risks early and plan next steps with the person and their support team.
Memory screenings are available too. When families notice changes in thinking or day-to-day recall, a memory check can bring clarity. It can also help people understand what is happening and what kind of support could help most.
Dr Choi also takes care of the small details that often get missed. That can mean listening closely to what is changing, checking overall health, and making practical plans that suit real life. He works with people in a calm, steady way, and he understands that aged care is about more than one appointment.
Language support is available in English and Chinese (Cantonese). This can help people feel more at ease and better understand the plan.
At appointments, Dr Choi looks at the whole picture: physical health, medicine use, and day-to-day safety. The goal is simple—help older people stay as safe, strong, and confident as they can.
