About of Abigail L. Pfaff

Abigail L. Pfaff is a neurologist based in Nedlands, WA, working from 8 Verdun Street, Nedlands, WA 6009, Australia. She looks after people dealing with ongoing brain and nerve conditions, where symptoms can change over time and families need clear, steady support.


Her work covers a mix of movement and thinking problems. This includes Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders, plus conditions linked to slow loss of nerve function such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, also called Lou Gehrig’s disease) and Primary Lateral Sclerosis. She also supports patients with dementias, including Frontotemporal Dementia, where memory and behaviour can be affected in different ways.


Some appointments also focus on rarer conditions. For example, she may help with Wolfram Syndrome and with symptoms related to Diabetes Insipidus (DI), which can involve strong thirst and frequent urination. At times, managing these issues means coordinating care with other health professionals, not just treating one symptom at a time.


Abigail’s experience comes from long-term neurology care, dealing with complex cases and the everyday realities that come with them. People often want to understand what is happening, what to expect next, and what can be done to keep life as workable as possible. Over time, she aims for practical plans that match each person’s situation, goals, and support at home.


In terms of education, her clinical training is grounded in neurology and the wider care needed for nervous system and memory-related conditions. She also keeps up with new information as it comes through medical updates, so advice stays current for the kinds of conditions she treats. If clinical trial options are available and relevant, she can discuss them in a straightforward way, including what they might involve and whether they fit the patient’s needs.


If you’re looking for a calm, down-to-earth neurologist in Nedlands, Abigail L. Pfaff is ready to help you make sense of symptoms and map out next steps, one appointment at a time.
