About of Matthew Silsby

Matthew Silsby is a Neurologist based in Concord, NSW 2139. He works with people who have long-term nerve and brain conditions, as well as new problems that need careful checking.


Neurology can cover a lot. In many cases, Matthew helps patients who have weakness, changes in sensation, pain, or ongoing movement issues. This can include things like nerve problems that come and go over time, nerve inflammation, and conditions that affect how the body moves. He also looks after people with tremor and other movement disorders.


At times, the work can be more complex and emotional. Matthew supports patients with serious motor nerve conditions, including ALS, and also deals with progressive conditions that may affect speech and swallowing. Eye movement problems, balance issues, and facial pain can also be part of the picture, depending on the diagnosis.


His approach is practical. He focuses on understanding what’s been happening, how it started, and what changes over time. From there, he helps plan next steps for tests, treatment options, and follow-up care. The goal is usually to keep symptoms as controlled as possible and to help people feel more steady and informed about what’s ahead.


Over time, Matthew has built experience managing both chronic and sudden neurological symptoms. He knows that people don’t always fit neatly into one category, and that symptoms can shift as the body changes. That’s why careful history-taking and clear communication matter in his clinics.


Matthew’s education is in medicine and neurology. He also keeps up with new research and updated clinical guidance, so care stays current and grounded in what’s known to work.


If you’re dealing with a neurological condition, it helps to have someone who listens, explains things in plain language, and makes a plan that suits your situation. Matthew works with patients in Concord and surrounding areas, supporting them from diagnosis through ongoing management.


Clinical trials can be relevant for some neurological conditions, but trial details and eligibility depend on the individual case. Matthew can discuss what might be an option when it fits, and when it’s available through the right pathways.
