Andrew Zalesky is a neurologist based in Grattan Street, Parkville, VIC 3010. He works in the kind of space where brain and nerves matter day to day. Neurology can feel confusing, especially when symptoms are new or not going away, so care needs to be clear and steady.
In many cases, Andrew’s work involves people dealing with memory and thinking problems, such as Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. He also looks after patients with epilepsy, including seizure types that affect parts of the brain, and for some people the issue can link to brain changes seen on scans.
At times, his clinic care also supports people with movement problems and related neurological conditions. This can include movement disorders, and it can also involve treatment planning around deep brain stimulation (DBS). DBS is a bigger step, so it’s usually discussed with care and in a way that’s easy to understand.
Andrew also supports families and patients with neurodevelopmental conditions, including autism spectrum disorder and Asperger’s syndrome, plus ADHD. Alongside that, he helps people where learning, attention, or behaviour changes are part of the picture.
Some referrals can also come through for head injuries. Concussion is common, and over time symptoms can shift. Andrew’s focus is on the neurological side of things, including how the brain is recovering and what to watch for next.
Mental health and neuropsychiatric conditions can overlap with neurological care too. Andrew’s listed work includes schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and anorexia. These conditions are complex, and they often need a team approach, with the nervous system part taken seriously.
There are also a few more specific topics noted in his service work, such as focal or multifocal malformations in neuronal migration, and vitamin D deficiency. For premature infants, neurological concerns can show up early, and support needs to start as soon as possible.
Details about education and work history aren’t listed here. Research and clinical trial information also isn’t provided. If you’d like, you can check with the practice directly about current research involvement or whether there are any studies taking patients.
