Welcome to Neurology Consults
About the Clinic: Our Philosophy
Neurology Consults is a specialist neurology practice founded by Dr Sarah Thomas and based at John Flynn Hospital on the Gold Coast. The practice provides comprehensive assessment and management for adults with neurological symptoms and disorders, with particular expertise in cognitive neurology and stroke, alongside general neurology.
The practice is founded on the belief that good neurological care extends beyond reaching a diagnosis. Neurological symptoms often require careful consideration of a person’s history, examination findings, investigations and day-to-day functioning. Many neurological conditions are also chronic and evolve over time, affecting not only patients but often their families.
Our approach is thoughtful, collaborative, evidence-based and individualised. We aim to provide patients and families with a clear understanding of the diagnosis, the reasoning behind it and a practical plan for ongoing care. Continuity is central to this approach: understanding each person’s priorities, responding as their needs change and remaining alongside them throughout the course of their condition.
Neurology Consults also places a strong emphasis on prevention and maintaining brain health through the early recognition of neurological change, management of vascular risk factors and evidence-based lifestyle measures. Care is coordinated closely with general practitioners, allied health professionals and other specialists to provide patients with considered, connected and ongoing neurological care.

Dr Sarah Thomas is a neurologist with subspecialty expertise in stroke and cognitive neurology. She completed her medical and specialist neurology training in Queensland and was admitted to Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians in 2024. She subsequently undertook advanced fellowships in stroke and cognitive neurology in Melbourne, working at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, Box Hill Hospital and The Alfred. These fellowships provided focused experience in acute and preventative stroke care, cognitive assessment, neurodegenerative disease and emerging treatments for Alzheimer’s disease.
Dr Thomas has been involved in national and international investigator-led and industry-sponsored clinical trials across stroke and neurodegenerative medicine. She maintains active research affiliations with the Royal Melbourne Hospital and the University of Melbourne, supported by an NHMRC Postgraduate Scholarship and an Australian Government Research Training Program Scholarship. Her research uses advanced brain-imaging analysis in acute ischaemic stroke to improve understanding of treatment response and support more precise, individualised treatment decisions.
Alongside her private practice, Dr Thomas works as a Staff Specialist with the Queensland Telestroke Service, providing urgent stroke assessment and management to regional and remote hospitals across Queensland.
