Dr Natalie L. Phillips is a neurologist based in South Brisbane, QLD. You can find the practice at 501 Stanley St, South Brisbane, QLD 4101.
Neurology is about the brain, the nerves, and how they affect the way people move, think, and feel. Dr Phillips works with adults and children who are dealing with things like seizures and epilepsy, including absence seizures and generalised tonic-clonic seizures. At times, this can be a big worry for families, especially when symptoms come and go.
Many people see a neurologist because of sudden or ongoing brain-related problems. Dr Phillips helps with conditions such as traumatic brain injury and concussion, and supports patients who have memory loss, dementia, or Alzheimer’s disease. In many cases, the goal is to make sense of what is happening, then map out a plan that fits the person and their day-to-day life.
Headaches are another common reason for a neurology appointment. Dr Phillips looks after people who experience headaches and also those who have had repeated head injuries. Sleep can be a part of this too, so insomnia may come up during consultations.
For younger patients, neurological symptoms can be tricky to explain and manage. Dr Phillips works with families where there are concerns around things like autism spectrum disorder, as well as other issues that can affect learning, behaviour, and communication. She also supports people with hearing-related concerns and other symptoms that can sit alongside neurological problems.
Every patient situation is different. Some people arrive with a clear diagnosis, while others have had symptoms for a while and are still trying to find answers. Dr Phillips takes a calm, practical approach, focusing on understanding the symptoms, reviewing what has been tried, and helping patients move forward with a clearer next step.
