Nady Braidy is a neurologist based on Barker Street in Randwick, NSW 2031. Neurology is a broad field, and it comes up in lots of everyday situations — from memory and movement changes to problems that start after an illness or injury.
In many cases, Nady helps people and families who are dealing with memory loss and dementia. That can include Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia, where blood flow issues can affect thinking. At times, appointments are also about understanding changes linked with brain infections or swelling, such as encephalitis, or longer-term effects seen with conditions like dementia related to HIV.
There are also times when the focus is on the nervous system’s movement side. Nady looks after patients with Parkinson’s disease, along with a range of movement disorders. Some people come in because of tremor, stiffness, slower movement, or balance problems that are gradually affecting day-to-day life.
Brain tumours are another important part of the work. This includes conditions like glioma, glioblastoma, astrocytoma, and other brain growths. When a diagnosis is suspected or already known, the goal is often to explain what is going on, outline next steps, and support safe planning around symptoms and treatment.
Stroke care is also in the mix. Stroke can be a sudden event, but the follow-up is just as important. Nady helps people understand symptoms, recovery, and what might reduce the risk of problems happening again.
Some neurological issues run in families too. Nady works with people who have inherited conditions, including different forms of hereditary ataxia and spinocerebellar ataxia. These often show up as clumsiness, poor coordination, or trouble with balance over time. Friedreich ataxia is one example that may come up during assessment.
At times, the work also covers rare or unusual syndromes that affect the brain. One example is CACH syndrome, and there are also neurotoxicity syndromes where the nervous system can be affected by internal or external factors. Cardiomyopathy can be part of the picture in some conditions, so care may need to link in with other health professionals.
Nady also supports children and adults with developmental and genetic conditions, including Down syndrome, when neurological symptoms are involved. Over time, the aim is to bring things into focus, keep explanations simple, and make sure families know what to watch for.
Clinical decisions today are often shaped by ongoing research, and Nady stays across new ideas and treatment approaches where they are relevant. For clinical trial options, this is discussed case by case, depending on the person’s situation and local availability.
