Rachel H. Tan is a neurologist based in Camperdown, NSW. Her clinic is at 94 Mallett Street, Camperdown, NSW 2050. She looks after people with conditions that affect the brain, nerves, and thinking skills.
Neurology can be a lot to take in. Some patients see her for changes in memory and thinking, including Alzheimer’s disease and Lewy body dementia. Others come in because of dementia with different patterns, like frontotemporal dementia and primary progressive aphasia. Over time, these illnesses can change how someone speaks, remembers, or manages everyday tasks.
Rachel also works with people who have movement and nerve problems. This includes conditions such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, sometimes called Lou Gehrig’s disease), primary lateral sclerosis, and corticobasal degeneration. At times, patients also need help managing symptoms linked to cerebellar multiple system atrophy and other progressive neurological disorders. Each case is different, and the best plan often depends on what’s happening for that person, right now.
In many cases, her appointments focus on getting clear answers and making a practical plan for next steps. That might include reviewing symptoms, organising tests where needed, and talking through treatment options and supports. Families often attend appointments too, because carers usually have a lot of questions and need a clear way forward.
Some people also arrive with concerns that sit alongside other ongoing health issues. For example, the same clinic profile also lists allergic rhinitis and chronic kidney disease among the types of problems it may help coordinate care for. There’s also Alport syndrome listed, which can sometimes come with broader health impacts, so it helps to keep everything connected.
Rachel’s training centres on neurology. This means the focus stays on the nervous system and how it affects day-to-day life, from early warning signs through to long-term management. If you’re looking for clinical trials or research involvement, specific details aren’t shown here, so it’s best to ask the clinic directly about what’s available locally.
Overall, the aim is calm, careful care. Neurological conditions can feel scary, but good information and steady follow-up can make things a bit more manageable.
