Hannah C. Leeson is a neurologist based in St. Lucia, Brisbane, QLD 4072. Neurology can feel like a lot to deal with, especially when symptoms affect movement, balance, or day to day thinking. Hannah looks after people who need clear answers and practical care for ongoing brain and nerve conditions.
In clinic, the focus is often on conditions that change how the body moves. This can include spasticity, where muscles feel tight or stiff, and problems with walking or balance. Hannah also works with people living with spastic paraplegia, including spastic paraplegia type 2 and spastic paraplegia type 7. These are long-term conditions, so care usually needs to be steady and realistic, with a plan that can adjust as things change over time.
Hannah also supports patients who have epilepsy. Seizures can be scary, and they can still happen even when you’ve been on treatment for a while. When seizures do not sit still, or when medicines cause side effects, neurologist care matters. Hannah helps people understand what might be going on and how to move forward with treatment options that fit their life.
Another area of care includes movement changes caused by medicines. Drug induced dyskinesia can come with involuntary movements that may be linked to certain treatments. At times, the best next step is not just changing a medicine, but also reviewing timing, doses, and what symptoms look like in real life.
Some patients also come with rare neurogenetic conditions such as ataxia telangiectasia and telangiectasia. These conditions can affect balance and coordination, and they may bring other health issues along the way. In many cases, families want help sorting out symptoms, coping with changes, and keeping track of care across different health services.
Because neurological conditions can be complex, visits often include careful listening and a focus on what matters most to the person in front of you. The goal is to keep things grounded—making sure you understand the likely causes, what can be monitored, and how treatment may work to reduce symptoms or improve day to day function.
If you’re in Brisbane and you’re looking for a neurologist who can take a calm, practical approach to issues like epilepsy, spasticity, spastic paraplegia, drug induced dyskinesia, or ataxia telangiectasia, Hannah C. Leeson is based in St. Lucia and ready to help.
