Felicity A. Baker is a neurologist based in North Adelaide, South Australia. She works from 72 King William Rd, North Adelaide, SA 5006. Neurology can feel big and overwhelming at first, so the aim is to make things clearer and easier to manage day to day.
Felicity looks after people with a range of brain and nervous system conditions. Many patients she sees have concerns linked to dementia, or changes in memory and thinking that can affect everyday life. She also supports people dealing with movement problems, including Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders.
She often helps with communication and speech issues too, including dysarthria, where speaking can become harder to control. At times, patients come in because they have spasticity or spastic diplegia (infantile type). Others may be managing cerebral palsy, especially when muscle tone and movement are ongoing challenges.
Care doesn’t stop at diagnosis. Over time, Felicity focuses on practical next steps that fit in with real life. That might mean helping people understand what’s going on, talking through treatment options, and working out what support could make day-to-day tasks easier.
Depending on the situation, treatment may include options such as rhizotomy for suitable patients. For some families, planning around symptoms like stiffness, movement difficulty, or speech changes can take a bit of time. Felicity works through it step by step, keeping the conversation calm and grounded.
Felicity’s clinic is for people who want a steady, clear approach. She understands that neurological conditions can change slowly, or sometimes come on more suddenly, and either way it can be stressful. She helps people and families feel less lost, and more confident about what to do next.
Alongside hands-on clinical care, she keeps an eye on what’s happening in neurology so that management stays current. When research or new treatment approaches are relevant for a particular person, she can discuss what that might mean in practical terms.
