Hannah T. Johns is a neurologist based on Burgundy Street in Heidelberg, VIC. Neurology can feel a bit overwhelming at first, especially when symptoms come on suddenly. Hannah’s role is to help people understand what’s happening and work out the next best step, in a calm and practical way.
Her work includes treatment related to stroke and stroke emergencies. That can include care around thrombectomy, which is a procedure used to help restore blood flow in certain stroke situations. In many cases, timing matters, so she focuses on quick, clear decisions when people need urgent attention.
Hannah also looks after people with seizure conditions. This includes absence seizures and generalised tonic-clonic seizures. Seizures can affect daily life, sleep, school, and work, so it’s not just about the episode itself. Over time, the aim is to find a plan that helps reduce the chance of seizures coming back and supports safer routines.
At times, neurological symptoms can show up during or after serious infections and hospital stays. Hannah’s service list includes COVID-19 and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). In these situations, she helps work through what might be going on and what checks are worth doing, based on the person’s symptoms and history.
She also works with patients connected to heart bypass surgery. Some people may have new or changing symptoms after major heart procedures, and neurologic input can be part of the broader team approach to get things sorted. Hannah takes time to connect the dots in a way that makes sense, without making things feel too complicated.
