Dr Joe Hu is a Geriatrician, an Aged Care Specialist, based at Ekera Medical Centre in Box Hill, Victoria. He works in the South Eastern Geriatric Health clinic at Ekera Medical Centre, Suite 3.02, 116 - 118 Thames Street, Box Hill VIC 3128. He speaks English and Mandarin Chinese. He helps older adults with many health needs and focuses on safe, kind care for seniors.
Dr Hu brings a calm, practical approach to older patients. His team at Box Hill and Dandenong uses clear information to plan care. He works with families and carers to understand what matters most to each patient. He often sees seniors who have many health issues at once, so he coordinates different doctors, nurses, and allied health staff to create one plan. His clinic also serves patients in Dandenong through the South Eastern Geriatric Health program.
Services include medication management for seniors, fall risk assessment, memory screening for dementia, nutritional counseling for older adults, and chronic disease management. This means he can review medicines to avoid interactions, check how likely a fall is, screen for memory changes, help with diet to support strong health, and guide long-term conditions like diabetes or heart disease. He takes time to explain options in simple language so patients and families can choose what feels right.
The care style is patient-focused. He listens first, then explains what tests, treatments, or changes may help. He values ongoing learning and keeps up with best practices in geriatrics. He collaborates with other health professionals to make sure care is coordinated well. He also emphasizes safety, comfort, and respect in every visit.

Visited Dr Joe Hu at Ekera Medical Centre in Box Hill for my mum’s medication management. He took the time to explain each pill and adjusted a few doses to reduce her dizziness. It’s a relief knowing her meds are now in safer hands, and the memory screening gave us peace of mind that we’re watching early signs closely.
My grandfather has multiple chronic conditions and I was worried about the medication mix. Dr Hu listened, coordinated his care, and we left with a clear plan and a practical nutrition approach for seniors. The fall risk assessment was thorough, and I feel confident in his care here in Box Hill.
A genuine, down-to-earth visit. Dr Hu explained the memory screening results in plain English and suggested steps we can take at home. The team in Suite 3.02 were friendly, and the centre was easy to access from Melbourne’s eastern suburbs.
Excellent support for my dad. The nutritional counselling helped us tailor meals to his needs, and the chronic disease management plan feels realistic. The staff were patient and respectful, which makes a big difference when you’re coordinating care for an older relative.
We needed a careful review of my aunt’s medications and fall risk. Dr Hu conducted a thorough assessment and adjusted several meds to reduce side effects. He also talked about what to watch for during flu season here in Box Hill.
From the moment we arrived at Ekera Medical Centre, the care felt personalised. Dr Hu explained the memory screening results, recommended practical steps, and set up a simple follow-up plan. Definitely a place I’d recommend to friends in the eastern suburbs.
I’m grateful for the clear guidance on chronic disease management and medication safety for my mum. The team were supportive, and the Box Hill location is very convenient. We left with a solid plan and confidence in her ongoing care.
