Thushara Perera is a Neurologist based in East Melbourne, with rooms at 384-388 Albert Street, East Melbourne, VIC 3002. If you’re dealing with symptoms that affect how your brain and nerves work, Thushara can help you sort out what’s going on and what options may fit your situation.
Neurology can feel confusing and stressful, especially when symptoms come and go, or slowly change over time. In many cases, patients need clear answers, a steady plan, and follow-up that keeps things on track. Thushara’s clinic focuses on conditions that affect movement, balance, speech, and the nervous system.
Thushara looks after people with movement disorders, including Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, and drug-induced dyskinesia. These problems can make everyday tasks harder, like using your hands, walking, or speaking clearly. At times, the right treatment can make a big difference to comfort and day-to-day function.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is another important part of the work. MS can bring a mix of symptoms such as weakness, changes in sensation, problems with coordination, and fatigue. Getting the diagnosis right and keeping treatment steady is often key, and that’s where ongoing neurology care matters.
Some people also need help with deep brain stimulation (DBS). DBS is a treatment option for certain movement disorders, and it’s usually discussed when medications aren’t giving the results people need. Thushara can talk through what DBS may mean, how it fits with other care, and what to expect through the process.
Speech and swallowing can be affected in neurological conditions too. Thushara also supports patients dealing with dysarthria, which can show up as slurred or unclear speech. Being able to communicate easily is a big part of life, so managing these changes is taken seriously.
There are also eye and sensory conditions in the mix, such as retinitis pigmentosa and late-onset retinal degeneration. Some referrals involve complex links between vision, nerves, and longer-term health. Over time, careful assessment helps guide next steps.
Thushara Perera’s clinic is set up for practical, patient-focused neurology care across a range of neurological conditions. If you’d like to discuss symptoms or next steps, the main goal is simple: help you understand your options and get a plan that makes sense for your life.
