Fiona Kumfor is a Neurologist based in Lidcombe, NSW, working out of 75 East Street, Lidcombe NSW 2141, Australia.
Her clinic supports people dealing with brain and nerve conditions, especially where memory, thinking, movement, or language can change over time. Many appointments involve dementia and related conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, and primary progressive aphasia. At times, she also helps families and carers when symptoms affect everyday speech and communication.
Fiona also looks after people with movement and nerve disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease), progressive supranuclear palsy, and corticobasal degeneration. These can be hard to live with, and she aims to keep things clear and practical from the start.
Another big part of her work is neurological conditions linked to the brain and nerves, including multiple sclerosis (MS). She also supports people after traumatic brain injury, where long-term recovery can be uneven and needs careful follow-up.
Some patients come in for concerns around development and behaviour, including autism spectrum disorder. Others are referred for changes in smell (anosmia), memory loss, or ongoing neurological symptoms that need a careful check-up.
Over time, Fiona has built experience working with people across these different areas of neurology. She understands that each situation is personal. That’s why she focuses on listening first, then explaining what the options usually look like, including what can be monitored and what can be managed.
In terms of education, her clinical training is in neurology, with the skills needed to assess brain and nerve conditions and guide next steps. She also keeps up with current research and treatment updates where they are relevant to patient care, without making it complicated.
Clinical trials can be discussed when they may be an option for a particular person or condition. Even then, it’s usually about weighing the potential benefits and the practical side of participating, so decisions stay informed and grounded.
If you’re looking for a calm, steady neurology review for a memory, language, movement, or brain-related concern, Fiona Kumfor is available in Lidcombe.
