Sue Fletcher is a Neurologist based in Murdoch, WA. You’ll find the practice address at 90 South St, Murdoch, WA 6150, Australia. Sue looks after people who have long-term health conditions that affect nerves, muscles, and sometimes sight or hearing too.
Neurology can be a broad field, and Sue’s work tends to be focused on complex, ongoing issues. This can include motor neurone conditions like Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s Disease), and other disorders where the nerves and muscles don’t work as they should. In many cases, these are genetic conditions, so the care often needs to fit around whole families, not just one person.
Sue also works with people living with muscular dystrophies and related muscle weakness, including Becker, Duchenne, limb-girdle types, and inclusion body myositis. At times, the symptoms can change slowly over time, and that’s why planning matters. Getting the right support early can make day-to-day life a bit more manageable.
Some patients see Sue for conditions that affect movement and muscle control, such as spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) types, Pompe disease, and other muscle atrophy disorders. Others may come in with conditions that sit at the edge of neurology and eye or hearing health, like retinitis pigmentosa, late-onset retinal degeneration, Stargardt macular degeneration, and hearing loss. In these situations, Sue coordinates care with other health professionals so everything works together.
Connective tissue conditions can also come up in neurology care. Sue may be involved in support and ongoing management for things like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Marfan Syndrome, including vascular EDS. These conditions can be tricky because the effects vary from person to person, and they may need careful monitoring over the years.
Over time, Sue’s approach stays calm and practical. She focuses on clear explanations, listening to what’s happening for the person in front of her, and helping work out the next steps. Where relevant, she keeps up with current treatment options and care pathways, and talks through what the goals could look like.
Sue also understands that managing symptoms can be emotionally heavy. That’s why appointments are about more than test results. It’s about support, planning, and making sure people have a plan they can live with.
