Thank you for referring to East Neurology. This page covers what we test, how to refer, and who your patient will see.
We are a specialist neurology practice in Bondi Junction offering consultations, neurophysiology (nerve conduction studies, EMG and EEG), neuromuscular ultrasound, autonomic function testing and hypermobility assessment. Emergency and urgent appointments are available — please call the rooms to arrange one. We also see WorkCover, CTP and medicolegal patients.
Autonomic function testing, SudoScan and hypermobility assessment. Takes about two minutes — no login, no account. The referral reaches us immediately.

What we test
Nerve conduction studies, EMG and neuromuscular ultrasound
Our protocols combine nerve conduction studies and EMG with ultrasound in the same appointment, giving a more thorough and more diagnostic result than electrodiagnosis alone.
EEG
Routine and sleep-deprived EEG, to help diagnose epilepsy, suspected seizures and encephalopathy.
Autonomic function testing
Formal autonomic testing for POTS, orthostatic intolerance and small fibre neuropathy, including an active stand test with recovery blood pressure, and SudoScan. The test takes 40 to 60 minutes. It is a diagnostic test rather than a consultation: the report comes to you, the treating doctor, to act on.
No referral is required, though one is welcome and helps us. Please note the test itself does not attract a Medicare rebate; consultations and nerve conduction studies are rebatable as usual.
Hypermobility assessment
Structured assessment for symptomatic joint hypermobility (hEDS and hypermobility spectrum disorder), using validated questionnaires and precise in-person measurements against internationally recognised, evidence-based, expert-approved criteria. Particularly useful where hypermobility and dysautonomia overlap, since both can be assessed together.
This is a private test and does not attract a Medicare rebate.
Headache and migraine
Including Botox for chronic migraine and CGRP preventive therapy, with assessment for PBS eligibility where appropriate.
Neuroimmunology
Multiple sclerosis, NMOSD, MOG antibody disease, autoimmune encephalitis and myasthenia gravis, under the care of Dr Tal Koren.
