Lynn Chenoweth is a geriatrician based in Sydney, NSW, Australia. She looks after older adults and helps when health issues start to affect memory, thinking, movement, or day-to-day function. In many cases, care plans also involve family members and other local services, because support outside the appointment matters.
Lynn’s work commonly covers dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. These conditions can change slowly, then suddenly in ways that are hard to predict. She focuses on understanding what’s going on now, sorting out what could be driving the changes, and helping patients and carers feel less stuck.
She also helps with delirium. Delirium can come on after an illness, a hospital stay, or a change in medicines. It can look scary and confusing, but it’s often treatable. Lynn takes time to check the basics, talk through what the triggers might be, and support recovery where possible.
Medication effects are another part of her approach. She sees people with drug-induced dyskinesia, where certain medicines can cause unwanted movements. At times, the goal is to balance symptom control with fewer side effects, working closely with the treating team to make practical changes.
Some patients also come with developmental dysphasia familial. This is a long-term type of communication and language condition, and it can affect learning, confidence, and everyday life. Lynn aims to understand the bigger picture for the person and their supports, not just the label.
Over time, Lynn has built a style of care that feels calm and straightforward. She listens first, asks clear questions, and explains next steps in plain language. Her background includes medical training and specialist study in geriatrics, with a focus on looking after complex needs in older age.
