David J. Blacker is a Neurologist based in Nedlands, WA. You can find the practice on the 3rd Floor A Block, Hospital Avenue, Nedlands, WA 6009, Australia. The focus here is on helping people when the nervous system is causing symptoms, from sudden events to longer-term conditions.
Neurology can cover a lot, and David’s work often includes care around stroke and transient ischaemic attack (TIA). These can come on quickly, and they’re scary for most people. In many cases, fast action makes a big difference, including treatment related to thrombectomy and other vascular care. There’s also support for people with carotid artery disease, where blood flow to the brain can be affected.
Not every problem is sudden. At times, there are ongoing issues like movement disorders and Parkinson’s disease. Symptoms can build slowly, like tremor, stiffness, or changes in movement. David looks at what’s happening day to day and helps guide treatment and next steps.
Sleep problems are another big part of the picture. David also works with obstructive sleep apnoea and central sleep apnoea. Poor sleep can affect energy, mood, and concentration, and it can also put extra strain on the body. Getting the cause right matters, and the care offered aims to keep things practical and easier to manage.
Some patients also come with symptoms that can involve swallowing and breathing safety. Swallowing difficulty is important to take seriously, especially when there’s a risk of choking or aspiration. Support around swallow function helps reduce worry and improves day-to-day confidence.
There are also conditions like low sodium level, which can show up in different ways and needs careful checks. David’s approach is to work through symptoms, work out what fits, and help coordinate the right care.
