General Neurology
General neurology consultations with Dr Michael McVeigh in Hamilton, Victoria, including electromyography (EMG) testing where appropriate. GP referral required.
Hamilton Medical Group is pleased to offer specialist neurology services with Dr Michael McVeigh, Consultant Physician - Neurologist, who consults from our rooms.
Dr McVeigh is a general neurologist, providing assessment, diagnosis, and management of a wide range of neurological conditions. His areas of clinical interest include peripheral nerve and muscle disorders, migraine and other headache disorders, epilepsy, movement disorders including Parkinson's disease, and stroke.
As part of his neurological assessments, Dr McVeigh performs electromyography (EMG), a diagnostic test that evaluates the electrical activity of muscles and the function of the nerves that control them. EMG testing can assist in the diagnosis of conditions affecting the peripheral nerves and muscles, providing valuable information to guide treatment planning.
Dr McVeigh also provides an EMG service at the Warrnambool Plastics and Reproductive Surgery (WPRS) consulting suites in Warrnambool, where he consults once a month on a Wednesday. Further information and appointments for the Warrnambool EMG service are arranged through Hamilton Medical Group.
This provides patients in Warrnambool and the surrounding region with local access to EMG testing.
Having a neurologist consulting locally provides patients in Hamilton, Warrnambool and the surrounding region will access to specialist neurological care without the need to travel to metropolitan centres for many aspects of their assessment and ongoing management.
A referral from your GP to Dr McVeigh is required. Your GP will work closely with Dr McVeigh to coordinate your care and ensure continuity of treatment.
Neurological conditions can significantly affect a patient's quality of life, and Dr McVeigh works closely with referring GPs, allied health professionals, and Western District Health Service to ensure a coordinated approach to diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing management.
Require a neurological assessment?
If you have symptoms that may require neurological assessment, such as persistent headaches, tremor, muscle weakness, or seizures, speak with your GP. They can assess your symptoms and determine whether a referral to Dr McVeigh's neurology clinic is appropriate. A GP referral is required for an appointment with Dr McVeigh.
