Nawaf Yassi is a neurologist based on Grattan Street in Parkville, VIC 3050. Neurology is all about the brain, nerves, and how they work day to day. For many people, that can mean sudden problems like stroke symptoms, or slower changes like memory and movement concerns.
His clinic looks after adults with a mix of conditions. This can include dementia and memory loss, such as Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia. At times, he also sees people living with Lewy body dementia (LBD), and helps with planning care when symptoms affect thinking, movement, or sleep.
In many cases, care is also needed for blood flow and vessel problems. This includes stroke, carotid artery disease, and conditions related to bleeding risk in brain blood vessels. He also works with people who have intracranial pressure concerns, and situations where surgery may be part of the treatment plan, such as craniectomy. For some patients, clot-related care can involve thrombectomy, depending on what’s happening and what the scans show.
Movement and brain signal issues are another big part of the work. This includes Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders. He can also be involved in helping people manage complex brain-related diagnoses, where the cause may be harder to pin down, such as cerebral amyloid angiopathy and primary amyloidosis. Neurological care can be needed alongside other health problems too, so consultations may include discussions around high cholesterol and overall risk factors.
His profile covers both longer-term conditions and situations that can come on quickly, including epidural haematoma and increased intracranial pressure. It also includes conditions linked with breathing and infections, like pneumonia, COVID-19, and SARS, where brain symptoms may show up as part of a wider illness.
Education and experience details aren’t listed in the available profile, but he is registered and working as a neurologist in Parkville. Research and clinical trial information is also included in the profile, though the specific details aren’t shown here. If clinical trials are relevant for a patient’s situation, it can be discussed as part of the care plan.
