Michael J. Takagi is a neurologist based in Parkville, NSW, at 35 Poplar Road. He looks after people who are dealing with problems affecting the brain and the nervous system, with a strong focus on concussion and traumatic brain injury.
Concussion can be more than just “a knock.” Symptoms like headaches, dizziness, trouble focusing, changes in sleep, mood changes, and memory worries can hang around for weeks or longer in many cases. Traumatic brain injury can also bring a mix of physical, thinking, and emotional effects, and it often needs a steady, practical plan to help people move forward.
In clinic, the goal is usually to figure out what’s going on, then help organise the next steps. That can include checking how symptoms are affecting daily life, reviewing how the injury happened, and making sure the care plan fits around school, work, and family routines. At times, the recovery path isn’t straight. So it helps to have someone who takes symptoms seriously and stays calm while you work through them.
Over time, Michael’s approach is grounded in real-world neurology care. He focuses on clear explanations and sensible next steps, so patients and families know what the plan is and why. This kind of work is often about small improvements—less dizziness, steadier sleep, clearer thinking—rather than sudden fixes.
Education and training details aren’t listed here, but you can usually ask the clinic for qualification information if you need it. Research and clinical trials aren’t specified in the available details either. Still, concussion and traumatic brain injury care does move ahead, and care decisions are typically based on current practice and evidence-led guidance.
