LBJ Geriatric Consult Service

The division offers inpatient consultation services at Lyndon B. Johnson General Hospital. The consult service cares for geriatric patients on other surgical and medical subspecialty services. They help manage both medical issues related to the older patient’s care as well as geriatric issues, such as

• Delirium and dementia evaluation
• Polypharmacy
• Functional decline
• Functional falls
• Failure to thrive/malnutrition
• Elder abuse
• Pre-operative evaluations / post-operative medical management

The Geriatric Consult Care Consult Service at LBJ is staffed by physicians (Rex Paulino, Linh Nguyen, Soraira Pacheco, Linda Pang, Ana Leech, Angelique Wong, John Halphen, Cristina Murdock and Julia Hiner) and nurse practitioners (Saira George, Candance Johnson, and Nadia Salas).
