About of Anne Poljak

Anne Poljak is a Neurologist based in Sydney, NSW 2052, Australia. She looks after people who have changes in the brain and nervous system, from memory problems to sudden confusion.


Her work covers Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, including vascular dementia. She also sees patients for delirium, which can come on quickly and make someone seem very different from their usual self. At times this can be frightening for families, so she focuses on clear explanations and calm next steps.


Anne also helps people with more specific neurological conditions. This can include CADASIL (Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy) and CACH syndrome. These are uncommon, and they often need careful review of symptoms, scan results, and how the illness is affecting daily life.


Alongside the brain-related conditions, she also works with people who have hypogonadism. When hormone issues show up with other health concerns, it can be hard to sort out what’s causing what. Anne takes time to consider the full picture, not just one part of it.


In many cases, her appointments are about putting names to what’s going on, making sure important causes are checked, and helping patients and carers understand treatment options. She aims to keep care practical. That might mean discussing medicines, follow-up plans, and what changes to watch for at home.


Over time, dementia and related conditions can affect sleep, mood, movement, and thinking. Anne works with families as they try to manage day to day challenges. She understands that every person is different, and plans need to fit the person, not the other way around.


Education and career details aren’t listed here, but the focus of her practice is clear: neurology care for both common and less common brain conditions. If research or clinical trials are relevant to a patient’s situation, those conversations can be handled as needed, based on what’s available locally and what fits the individual.


If you’re in Sydney and looking for neurological support, Anne Poljak provides steady, down-to-earth specialist care for Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, delirium, CADASIL, CACH syndrome, vascular dementia, and hypogonadism.
