About of Andrew J. Larner

Andrew J. Larner is a neurologist based in Fitzroy, VIC, working from 1 Turning Point, Fitzroy, Australia.


Neurology is a broad field, and his clinic work covers a mix of long-term and sudden conditions. Many people come in for problems with memory, thinking and day-to-day brain function, including dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Others are worried about episodes that come and go, such as transient global amnesia and transient ischaemic attack (TIA).


He also looks after people with seizure conditions, from absence seizures to generalised tonic-clonic seizures. At times, families seek help when there are ongoing symptoms that may point to epilepsy or other seizure-related issues.


Headaches can be a big reason for visits too. This includes migraine and other headache patterns. Dizziness and vertigo are also part of the work, especially when symptoms affect balance and safety.


Movement and nerve-related problems are another common theme. That can include Parkinson’s disease, general movement disorders, and other conditions where muscle control, stiffness or movement changes are the main concern. In many cases, people also have questions about stroke after-effects, since the nervous system plays a big role in how the body recovers.


Andrew’s care is grounded and practical. Neurological symptoms can feel scary or confusing, so the approach is about making sense of what’s happening and planning the next steps in a clear way. He works with patients and their families to discuss how symptoms started, how they change over time, and what might help.


In terms of experience, he’s familiar with the day-to-day realities of neurology, including how quickly some conditions need attention and how slowly others can develop. He also keeps up with new findings in neurology research so clinic decisions stay current.


Research and clinical trials aren’t highlighted here in detail, but where trials or newer options may be relevant, this can be discussed as part of the overall care plan.


If you’re dealing with memory changes, seizures, movement or balance issues, headaches, or concerns about stroke or TIA, a neurology review with Andrew J. Larner is a focused place to start.
