About of Richard D. Gordon

Richard D. Gordon is a neurologist in Brisbane, QLD 4102. He works with people who have long-term nerve and brain conditions, especially ones that affect movement, balance and day-to-day function.


In his clinic, Richard helps manage problems like Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders. He also looks after people with motor neurone disease, including ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) and primary lateral sclerosis. These conditions can change over time, so care often means regular check-ins, clear plans, and support for families as well.


Richard also sees patients with issues that can affect how the brain works, such as encephalitis and cerebral hypoxia. At times, there may be concerns about severe health events or ongoing brain injury effects, and the goal is to make sense of symptoms and help people understand what treatment options may help.


While he is a neurologist, some patients come in with mixed health problems. For example, there are cases linked to high blood pressure and adrenal or hormone-related changes, including Cushing’s syndrome and adrenal gland adenoma. He also manages situations that involve high potassium levels and blood pressure that is not settling as expected, sometimes alongside renal (kidney) blood flow issues.


People don’t always arrive with a neat diagnosis. In many cases, symptoms have been going on for a while, or results from tests need sorting out. Richard focuses on getting a clear picture, then working out the next steps. That might include careful symptom tracking, arranging the right tests, and coordinating with other health professionals when needed.


Education details and past work experience information aren’t listed here, so there isn’t anything specific to add at this stage. Clinical trial and research details also aren’t provided. If you’re trying to figure out whether your condition fits his clinic, it’s best to share what you’ve been told so far and what symptoms you’re dealing with now.
