Got a thorough memory screening and a chat about medication management for my dad. Dr Boon Tan was calm and patient, explained everything clearly and didn’t rush. In the heart of Adelaide, it’s reassuring to have a geriatrician who truly listens.
My elderly mum lives in north Adelaide, and we’re grateful for Dr Tan’s approach to fall risk assessments. He showed us practical tips to reduce trips and explained her meds so there are fewer mix-ups. Highly recommend.
Excellent routine check-up for my grandfather. Dr Tan took the time to cover mobility and memory screening, plus reviewed his daily routine. Very professional and respectful. A relief to find a specialist who speaks clearly.
We saw Dr Tan at Calvary Adelaide Hospital for a meds review and a quick fall risk assessment. He gave practical advice and followed up with a plan that our whole family could understand. Friendly and local support in the city.
Relieved to have a geriatrician who knows how to handle complex medication schedules. Dr Tan listened to my mum’s concerns and adjusted her plan without any fuss. It’s comforting to get care so close to the Adelaide CBD.
My grandmother appreciated the clear explanations around her mobility assessment. Dr Tan was patient, spoke a bit of Malay too, and made the whole process straightforward. We left feeling confident about her care plan.
From the memory screening to the medication review, Dr Boon Tan provided thoughtful, senior-focused care. The level of detail and friendliness in a busy Adelaide hospital setting was impressive. Would recommend to friends in the area.
