Dilara A. Bahceci is an Epileptologist based in Newtown, NSW, Australia. She helps people who live with epilepsy and seizure disorders, along with families who are trying to make sense of what is happening day to day. Seizures can be scary and tiring, so the focus is on clear answers and steady, practical care.
Dr Bahceci looks after people with a range of seizure types. This can include absence seizures, myoclonic seizures, and generalised tonic-clonic seizures. She also supports people with epilepsy linked to Dravet syndrome, as well as myoclonic-atonic seizures. Another area she commonly treats is genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+). Even when the seizure pattern looks similar from one person to the next, the details matter, and treatment often needs to be tailored.
In many cases, ongoing seizures can affect sleep, school or work, mood, and everyday routines. The care approach is meant to be grounded and realistic. Over time, it can help to track triggers, understand what different episodes look like, and work out what changes make a difference. At times, the path can feel slow, especially when you are adjusting medicines or monitoring side effects. Dr Bahceci aims to keep things simple and focused, so you are not left guessing.
Epilepsy can also be linked with development and learning needs, and families often have lots of questions. Care can include practical guidance around safety in daily life, plus support with the “what now?” moments that come after a new seizure type shows up. If you are caring for a child or teen, there may be extra steps to coordinate with day-to-day settings, like school routines and emergency plans.
While seizure medicines are often a key part of treatment, Dr Bahceci also pays attention to the bigger picture. That means looking at patterns, reviewing how things are going, and making sure the plan fits the person’s life. She understands that what worked once might need adjusting later, and that progress can come in steps.
Dilara A. Bahceci is based in Newtown and works with patients across the broader New South Wales area. If you are dealing with seizures such as those seen in Dravet syndrome, absence epilepsy, or GEFS+, getting the right specialist support can make a real difference to how you manage each week. The goal is to bring calm to a stressful situation, and to help people move forward with confidence.
