Andrew S. Mcintosh is a neurologist based in Ballarat, VIC. You can find his practice on Lydiard Street, in the heart of the city. Neurology can feel a bit overwhelming at first, so he keeps things grounded and practical when talking through symptoms and next steps.
As a neurologist, Andrew looks after people dealing with problems that involve the brain, nerves, and the way messages move around the body. In many cases, this includes issues that start after an injury, like concussion. Concussion can affect thinking, mood, sleep, headaches, and how you feel day to day, even when the injury happened a little while ago.
He also helps with rare but serious conditions where blood flow and the arteries supplying the head and neck can become involved. That can include vertebral artery dissection. It’s the kind of condition doctors take very seriously, because symptoms can come on quickly and need proper assessment. Sometimes people notice sudden neck pain, headaches, dizziness, or other sudden changes, and they may need urgent investigation.
Andrew’s work also covers neurological concerns linked to artery conditions such as aortic dissection. While that condition is not just “about the brain”, it can still lead to symptoms that bring people into the neurology space. The focus is on making sense of what’s happening, checking for warning signs, and helping coordinate care so patients can get the right treatment fast.
Over time, neurologists often see both the acute side of care and the follow-up side. After the initial assessment, many people need help with ongoing symptoms, recovery plans, and figuring out what’s normal and what needs more attention. Andrew works with patients in a calm way, so the plan feels clear rather than confusing.
Details about Andrew’s education and how many years he has worked in neurology are not listed here. The same goes for any research work or clinical trials. If you need that specific information for your situation, it can be worth contacting the practice directly so the team can confirm the latest details.
