Andrew F. Hill is a neurologist based at Science Drive, Bundoora, VIC 3083. Neurology is the branch of medicine that looks after how the brain, spinal cord and nerves work, and what to do when they don’t.
In day to day care, Andrew focuses on people dealing with movement and balance problems, memory changes, and long term nerve conditions. This can include Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders, plus conditions that affect muscle movement over time like ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) and primary lateral sclerosis. He also works with people who have symptoms linked to Huntington disease, secondary Parkinsonism, and other neurotoxicity syndromes.
He also helps patients with thinking and memory issues, including dementia and, in some cases, Alzheimer’s disease. Some patients come in after a drop in brain oxygen (cerebral hypoxia), or when there are brain-related changes from other health problems such as high blood pressure. At times, he supports people where symptoms may be complex, and where it helps to take a careful, step by step look at what’s going on.
Andrew’s background includes formal medical training, with follow-on specialised study in neurology. Over time, he stays across common treatment pathways and the latest updates that can affect how people are assessed, supported and managed. Research in areas like movement disorders and dementia is important in neurology, and he keeps his knowledge current in those areas.
Clinical trials can play a role for some neurological conditions, but specific trial details are not listed here. If you are trying to understand whether there’s a trial option, it’s best to ask directly at the appointment so the focus stays on what fits your situation.
