Natalie A. Pride is a neurologist based in Westmead, NSW. Her practice is at the corner of Hainsworth Street and Hawkesbury Road in Westmead, right where a lot of people in western Sydney already go for care.
Neurology can feel like a big, confusing word. In many cases, it comes down to the nervous system and how it affects everyday life. Natalie works with people who need help with conditions such as neurofibromatosis, including Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1). This can involve changes to nerves and the skin, and it may show up in childhood or later on. Getting the right checks early can make a real difference for planning care and keeping things as steady as possible.
She also looks after people with other neurological and neurodevelopmental concerns. That includes attention and behaviour issues like Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder. At times these concerns show up alongside changes in sleep, energy, learning, or day-to-day focus. People often want answers that are clear, practical, and grounded in what they’re seeing at home or at school.
Another area she manages is Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome. This is a long-term condition that affects how muscles work, and it can create a lot of questions for families. Appointments can be a mix of checking symptoms, talking through what’s going on, and making sure the care plan fits the person rather than the other way around.
Natalie’s approach is calm and straightforward. Over time, she helps patients and carers understand what the condition might mean, what can be monitored, and where support can help most. She also aims to make visits feel less overwhelming, because health information is easier when it’s explained in everyday language.
There isn’t a single “type” of patient she sees. Some come with new symptoms, others are looking for ongoing review. Either way, the focus stays on steady care, clear next steps, and support that makes sense in daily life.
