Sina Shadfar is a neurologist based in Sydney, working from 75 Talavera Road, Sydney, NSW 2109, Australia.
Neurology can cover a lot of different problems that affect the brain, nerves and how the body moves. Dr Shadfar helps patients with conditions that can change over time, including Parkinson’s disease and movement disorders. At times, these issues can also show up as secondary Parkinsonism, where symptoms can be linked to other health factors.
There are also memory and thinking concerns. Dr Shadfar looks after people with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, frontotemporal dementia, and memory loss. These conditions often affect day-to-day life, not just memory. Simple things like organising tasks, finding the right words, or keeping routines can become harder, and it can be stressful for families too.
Movement and communication can be affected in more serious motor neuron conditions as well. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is one of the conditions Dr Shadfar works with. Primary Lateral Sclerosis is another related condition that involves gradual changes in movement and muscle control.
Dr Shadfar also supports patients with neurotoxicity syndromes. These are situations where nerve symptoms can happen after exposure to certain triggers, and the goal is to understand what’s going on and plan next steps that fit the person’s needs.
Because symptoms can overlap, patients often come in with a mix of worries. Some people are trying to get answers after new or worsening symptoms. Others may already have a diagnosis and want help managing symptoms and planning care over time.
In the information available here, details about education, work history, research interests and clinical trials are not listed. What is clear is the focus on neurological care across movement, memory and motor function concerns, right here in Sydney.
