John D. Pollard is a neurologist based in Sydney, working from 94 Mallett Street, Sydney, NSW 2050, Australia. Neurology can be confusing and scary, especially when symptoms come and go. John works with people who need steady, clear help for nervous system problems, from early changes to long-term conditions.
His clinic support covers a range of neurological issues. This can include multiple sclerosis (MS), neuromyelitis optica (NMO), optic neuritis, and transverse myelitis. At times, people also need help when they’re dealing with ongoing weakness, numbness, or pain linked to the brain, spinal cord, or nerves.
Nerve problems are also a big part of the work. John looks after conditions such as chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN), and chronic polyradiculoneuritis. People may come in with symptoms like tingling, loss of feeling, changes in strength, or trouble using their hands and legs. Foot drop is another issue that can fit into this picture, and it often needs careful checking so the cause is clear.
Motor system conditions are treated too. This includes primary lateral sclerosis (PLS), as well as issues related to nerve damage such as Wallerian degeneration. In some cases, people need support for problems that affect movement and daily tasks, and the plan has to be realistic for what life looks like at home.
There are also rarer and more specific conditions in the mix. John has experience managing access-related nerve concerns like the accessory deep peroneal nerve, and he works with people who have genetic or structural conditions affecting the face and skull, such as Crouzon syndrome and Treacher Collins syndrome. Other examples include Treacher and CACH-type syndromes, acrofacial dysostosis, and dysostosis peripheral. He also sees people with conditions related to blood proteins, such as cryoglobulinaemia.
Because neurological illness can change over time, follow-up matters. John focuses on understanding how symptoms are shifting and what treatment options make sense. Even when a condition is long term, care can still be practical—helping people plan for flare-ups, manage effects on mobility, and stay on top of what the body is doing.
Details about specific education and research projects, as well as any clinical trial involvement, are not listed here. Clinical care is still built around what’s needed now, with a clear approach to diagnosis, symptom control, and ongoing support.
