Dean L. Pountney is a Neurologist in Southport, QLD, Australia. He looks after people with ongoing nerve and brain-related conditions, where symptoms can change over time and support needs to be practical and steady.
In clinic, Dean works with patients who may have problems with movement, thinking, or day-to-day nerves. This can include Parkinson’s disease, Lewy body dementia (LBD), and other movement disorders. At times, he also helps people dealing with dementia symptoms, including changes in memory, confusion, or thinking that affects everyday life.
Dean is also involved in care for less common but serious neurological conditions. For example, he looks after people with multiple system atrophy and motor neuron conditions such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease). He also supports patients with primary lateral sclerosis and familial dysautonomia, where the body’s automatic functions can be affected.
Some people come with symptoms that are linked to medicines or drug effects. Dean also has a service focus on drug induced dyskinesia, so he can help sort out what might be going on and how it can be managed. If symptoms are due to medication side effects, or if they overlap with a long-term neurological condition, care often needs to be calm, careful, and tailored to the person.

Clinical trial and research involvement also aren’t shown here, so it’s best to ask the clinic directly if that’s something you want to know about.
