Martin F. Lavin is a neurologist based in Herston, Queensland, working from 300 Herston Road. He looks after people with a wide range of nervous system problems, from movement and balance issues to conditions that affect the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
In many cases, patients see him when symptoms are ongoing or hard to pin down. That can include things like ataxia (loss of balance and coordination), telangiectasia-related neurologic problems, and other hereditary or long-term neurologic conditions. He also helps with apraxia, including oculomotor apraxia, where eye movements can be tricky even when the person is trying to focus.
Martin also supports people dealing with motor problems such as drug-induced dyskinesia, and he works with those who have conditions like spinocerebellar ataxia and other cerebellar-related disorders. At times, families are trying to understand why symptoms started and how they might change over time, and he focuses on explaining what’s going on in plain language.
His practice covers serious neurological and related health issues too, including conditions affecting brain tissue such as gliomas and glioblastoma, as well as other cancers and brain-related diagnoses. He may also be involved when someone has illnesses that can affect more than one body system at once, including infections and lung issues that sometimes show up alongside neurological symptoms.
Patient care is about the whole story, not just a scan. Martin works to sort through symptoms, discuss next steps, and plan care that fits with the person’s situation. If relevant, he will talk about current research and changing treatment options, but the main focus stays on practical support and clear decisions.
