Chris Kyndt is a neurologist based in Melbourne. You’ll find the practice on Level 6, 99 Commercial Road, Melbourne, VIC 3004. Chris works with people who need help with health problems that affect the brain, nerves, and the way the body’s immune system can sometimes cause symptoms.
Neurological issues can show up in many ways. At times it’s headaches, confusion, memory changes, mood changes, seizures, or problems with movement and feeling. In other cases it can be more sudden and worrying. Chris focuses on getting a clear picture of what’s going on, then helping patients understand the options step by step.
Chris also looks after people with conditions where the immune system plays a role, including encephalitis and anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis. These conditions can affect thinking and behaviour, and they can change quickly. Another condition seen in this area is Hashimoto thyroiditis. While that mainly starts with the thyroid, it can link into wider health concerns, and it’s often important to coordinate care so nothing gets missed.
In many cases, care means more than a single appointment. Chris works with patients and their carers to organise next steps, explain what results might mean, and plan how treatment and follow-up will work in real life. At times that also includes working alongside other health professionals, like GPs and specialists, so the whole picture is covered.
Chris understands that neurologic symptoms can be stressful for families. That’s why the approach is calm and practical. There’s usually a focus on clear communication, careful monitoring, and making sure treatment plans fit the person’s situation, not just the diagnosis on paper.
