Geriatric Medicine & Senior Care in Doraville, GA
Fellowship-trained geriatric care and Medicare Annual Wellness Visits from a physician who specializes in helping older adults stay healthy, independent, and confident.
Overview
A Geriatric Doctor With Rare, Specialized Training
Aging changes how the body responds to illness, medication, and treatment, which is why older adults deserve a doctor trained specifically in their care. Dr. Sudha Challa, MD completed fellowship training in geriatric medicine at the University of Louisville, a level of specialization few primary care clinics in metro Atlanta can offer.
That training shapes everything about how we care for seniors in Doraville and the surrounding communities. As part of the Emory Health Network with affiliations to Emory and Northside hospitals, we coordinate seamlessly with specialists whenever your care requires it.

Support for Families and Caregivers
Caring for an aging parent or spouse raises hard questions about memory, medication safety, falls, and independence. We welcome family members at appointments with the patient's consent, explain findings in plain language, and help caregivers understand what to watch between visits.
When home health, physical therapy, or specialist care is needed, we coordinate those referrals so nothing falls through the cracks. Our multilingual team also helps families discuss health in the language that feels most natural.
