Armin Nikpour is a Neurologist based at City Road, Camperdown, NSW 2006. Neurology can sound scary, but a lot of what we do is practical: working out what is going on, checking symptoms carefully, and helping people feel more in control.
In clinic, Armin looks after people dealing with seizures and epilepsy. That can include absence seizures, generalised tonic-clonic seizures, and other seizure types. For many families, it starts with a few worrying moments and then lots of questions. Over time, the focus turns to getting the right diagnosis and finding a treatment plan that fits real life.
Epilepsy in children is also an important part of the work. Children can have different needs than adults, from how appointments are run to how information is explained to parents and carers. At times, it can be hard to tell whether something is a seizure or something else, like daydreaming, fainting, or sleep issues. A careful review of the story, plus the right tests, can make a big difference.
Some people also come in with memory loss or ongoing brain fog. Memory problems don’t always mean something serious, but they are worth checking. Armin also supports patients who have worries about seizures and how they affect thinking, mood, and everyday tasks. Depending on the situation, appointments may involve discussing triggers, sleep, stress, safety at home, and how medicines are working.
Neurology visits can feel long, especially when you’re trying to describe events as clearly as possible. Armin keeps things clear and steady, so you’re not left guessing. The goal is simple: understand the problem, look at options, and help you move forward with a plan for follow-up and ongoing care.
