Wesley Thevathasan is a neurologist based in Parkville, NSW, Australia.
Neurology covers a big range of nervous system problems, and Wesley’s work often focuses on movement and seizure conditions. This can include Parkinson’s disease, movement disorders, and issues with how the body moves when medicines have side effects.
At times, people need help with seizures that start in childhood or later in life. Wesley looks after conditions like Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS), absence seizures, and generalised tonic-clonic seizures. Seizure care is not just about stopping fits. It’s also about helping families understand what to expect and what can be done day to day.
Wesley also provides care for epilepsy more broadly, including cases where seizures are hard to control with standard treatment. In many cases, the goal is a plan that is steady and realistic for the person’s life, not just a quick fix.
For some people with Parkinson’s disease or certain movement disorders, deep brain stimulation can be an option. Deep Brain Stimulation is a specialised treatment that can help with symptoms in the right situation. Wesley works through what it involves, what it aims to improve, and how follow-up care matters after treatment.
Drug-induced dyskinesia is another area that can come up in neurology. This is when unwanted, extra movements happen as a reaction to certain medicines. Wesley helps patients review what they’re taking and work out safer, more comfortable ways to manage symptoms.
Over time, neurological conditions can change. Some days are better than others. Wesley’s approach is practical and calm, with care that fits around the person’s goals and routines. Whether it’s movement problems, ongoing seizures, or questions about treatment options like deep brain stimulation, the focus stays on clear steps and steady support.
