About of James M. Shine

James M. Shine is a neurologist based in Camperdown, NSW. His rooms are at 100 Mallett Street, Camperdown NSW 2050. Neurology can sound a bit big, but in clinic it usually comes down to everyday problems like movement changes, thinking and memory issues, and behaviour or attention difficulties.


James works with people who have movement disorders. This can include Parkinson’s disease, as well as other issues like drug induced dyskinesia. At times, he also helps with conditions that affect how the brain controls movement and timing, so people can feel more steady and more in control in day to day life.


Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is one of the treatments he may discuss for suitable cases. DBS is not for everyone, but for some people it can be an option when symptoms are hard to manage with medicines alone. James focuses on what makes sense for each person, including how symptoms are changing over time and what the next steps could look like.


He also looks after patients with dementia and related conditions. That includes Lewy body dementia (LBD) and frontotemporal dementia. In many cases, families want help working out what’s going on and what to expect. James supports people through those conversations, especially when symptoms like memory changes, confusion, or changes in personality start to affect daily routines.


Some vision related symptoms can show up in neurology too. Charles Bonnet syndrome is one example he may help with, where people can see things that aren’t actually there, which can be scary until it’s understood.


James also works with attention and learning related conditions. This includes attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). For some people, ADHD can affect school, work, and home life in ways that build up over time, so getting the right plan matters.


There are also rarer and genetic conditions in his practice. This can include familial dysautonomia and developmental dysphasia familial. He also deals with related symptom patterns where nerve and brain signals don’t work in the usual way.


Overall, James brings a calm, practical approach to neurological care. He helps patients and families make sense of symptoms, talk through options, and take the next step with clear information.
