Access to an extensive specialist network

We have excellent relationships with our colleagues in other areas of neurology and neurosurgery. We’ll ensure you get to see the best person to provide you with specialised care.

Why Choose Us

The diagnosis and treatment of neurological disease has grown so much in the past few decades. Many areas of neurology have evolved their respective areas of expertise. Many neurological conditions can be treated appropriately without seeing a sub-specialist expert.

However, when certain disorders become hard to treat it may be necessary for patients to be seen by experts in that area. We have excellent relationships with our colleagues in other expert areas of neurology and because the most important part of our mission is to ensure patients receive the best care we will be confident in referring you to the appropriate expert.

Both Dr Winters and Dr Ang are appointed staff specialist neurologists at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and are experts in stroke, TIA, related disorders and We are two of a handful of interventional neurologists that exist in Australia.

If you require any procedures that can be performed by us, we will be able to organise at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital for you without cost.
