One doctor for everything your parent carries into old age
Dr Bakshi Clinic runs a senior citizen clinic in M.P. Nagar, Bhopal — geriatric care at physician level, where one MD doctor reviews all of an elder's conditions and medicines together, watches for falls, memory changes and frailty, and continues the care at home when travel becomes hard.
The plastic bag of medicines
Most elders arrive with one: a bag holding strips from a heart doctor, a bone doctor, a stomach doctor and two chemists — ten or twelve medicines, some duplicated under different brand names, some fighting each other, some solving side effects caused by the rest. Nobody prescribed this chaos; it accumulated, one specialist at a time.
Untangling that bag is geriatric medicine's first job. One physician reads everything together, removes what's redundant or risky, and produces a list the family can actually manage. Patients routinely leave taking fewer medicines and feeling better — deprescribing is often the most powerful prescription we write.
Hidden Drug Duplications
Same chemical molecule (e.g. Paracetamol or Pantoprazole) prescribed under 3 different brand names by 3 different doctors.
Drug-Drug Interactions
BP medicines causing dizziness that compounds with arthritis painkillers, increasing fall and kidney damage risks.
The Prescribing Cascade
New medicines added solely to counteract unrecognised side effects of existing medicines, multiplying pill burden unnecessarily.
What the senior clinic covers
Consolidated geriatric care that treats your parent as a complete human being rather than seven isolated body parts:
Whole-Person Medical Review
Every chronic condition, lab report, and organ specialist opinion consolidated under one accountable physician.
Medicine Rationalisation & Deprescribing
Harmful drug interactions caught, unnecessary duplicates eliminated, and dosage timings simplified into a manageable schedule.
Falls & Frailty Prevention
Postural BP dips, balance, vision, footwear, and night bathroom lighting assessed — because a fall changes everything after seventy.
Memory & Mood Screening
Early respectful screening for dementia, memory lapses, and silent depression that often hide behind 'he's just getting old'.
Age-Appropriate Sugar & BP Targets
Gentle glycemic and blood-pressure targets calibrated to avoid fatal hypoglycemic episodes and dizzy fainting spells.
Vaccination Schedule for Elders
Annual influenza (flu) shots and pneumococcal pneumonia protection scheduled to prevent seasonal hospitalizations.
Seamless Continuity into Home Care
When traveling to the clinic becomes too exhausting, the exact same physician continues care at home without resetting records.
Age-appropriate targets — the part families find surprising
Good geriatric care sometimes loosens control instead of tightening it. Sugar controlled too aggressively in a frail eighty-year-old causes dangerous lows; blood pressure pushed too far down causes the dizziness that causes the fall that causes the fracture.
We set targets for the person in front of us, explain the reasoning to the family, and write it down — so the next emergency doctor knows the plan too.
Built to pair with care at home
This clinic page and our elderly home care service are two halves of one design. Parents who can travel come to the 7–9 PM OPD, often with a working son or daughter.
When mobility fades, the file doesn't restart with a stranger — the same physician continues by home visit, with attendants or nursing added as needed. For families abroad or in other Indian cities, reviews happen with you on the phone. Old age is a long arc; the point is one doctor across it.
Phase 1: Active Clinic OPD
Evening reviews at M.P. Nagar clinic with your son or daughter after office hours.
Phase 2: Doorstep Home Visits
The same MD doctor visits your home across Bhopal as movement becomes restricted.
Phase 3: Attendants & Nursing
Seamless addition of compassionate GDAs, nurses, and physio without changing physicians.
Frequently asked questions
Clear medical answers on deprescribing, multiple medicine reviews, home visits for seniors, dementia screening, and calendar care.
It's medicine adapted to older adults — multiple conditions managed together, medicines minimised, falls and memory watched. If your parent is past seventy, sees several specialists, or takes more than five medicines, a geriatric review will almost certainly help.
