Gonzalo Siles-Perez is a neurologist based in Sydney, NSW, Australia. He looks after people who have nerve and brain conditions, including long-term disorders that can affect how muscles work and how the nervous system sends messages around the body.
In many cases, his patients are dealing with movement and muscle problems such as spasticity and spastic paraplegia. He also supports people with paraplegia and spinal cord-related issues, where walking, balance, and day-to-day movement can change over time. For some patients, symptoms may come on gradually. For others, things can be more sudden, and he helps sort out what’s going on and what to do next.
He also has experience with a range of neurological conditions linked to nerves and muscles. This includes Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, spinal muscular atrophy (including SMA type 1), and primary lateral sclerosis. At times, patients may be managing rare conditions as well, where getting the right diagnosis and ongoing care matters a lot.
Some people see him after episodes that affect balance and coordination, such as acute cerebellar ataxia. He also treats Wilson disease, which is a condition that can involve the liver and the brain. When symptoms overlap or tests are still being worked through, he aims to keep things clear and practical, so families understand the plan and what to expect.
Care can involve more than just appointments in clinic. Neurology often needs steady follow-up, good communication, and making sure treatment lines up with a person’s goals and daily life. Gonzalo Siles-Perez works with patients and their support networks to manage symptoms, monitor changes, and guide next steps in a calm, down-to-earth way.
