About of Sarah Farrand

Sarah Farrand is a neurologist based at Grattan St, Parkville, VIC 3050, Australia. Her work sits at the intersection of the brain and everyday life, from memory problems to movement issues and changes in behaviour.


In clinic, Sarah helps look after people who are dealing with different kinds of dementia and other brain-related conditions. That can include Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, and Huntington disease. At times, patients also come in with concerns around Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease or other serious, rare neurological conditions, where getting clear answers and support matters a lot.


Sarah also works with people who have movement disorders. This may involve symptoms like shaking, stiffness, or other movement changes. In some cases, she may coordinate care that includes Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), which is a treatment option for certain movement problems.


Speech and language can be part of her work too. She supports people with developmental dysphasia, including family-related forms such as developmental dysphasia familial. For some families, this can be a long road with many questions, so having a steady care plan helps.


Behaviour and mental health symptoms can also show up in neurology. For example, Sarah may see people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) alongside other brain-related concerns. She may also assess serotonin syndrome, especially when symptoms need careful checking and prompt medical care.


She has experience with a range of conditions, including genetic and developmental issues such as 3p Deletion Syndrome. Even when a diagnosis is complex, the goal is usually the same: make things easier to understand, and guide next steps that fit the person and their family.


Training and experience details are not listed here, so the exact education history and years of practice can’t be confirmed from this page. Research involvement isn’t provided either, and there are no specific clinical trial details mentioned at this time.
