About of Ernest R. Somerville

Ernest R. Somerville is a neurologist based in Camperdown, NSW. You can find the practice at 83-117 Missenden Road, Camperdown, NSW 2050, Australia.


Neurology can feel overwhelming, especially when symptoms come and go. Dr Somerville looks after people dealing with absence seizures, epilepsy, and other seizure types. This includes generalised tonic-clonic seizures, juvenile absence epilepsy, and juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. He also sees patients with ongoing concerns about seizures and related brain conditions.


Some appointments focus on day-to-day episodes, like staring spells or sudden lapses, while others are about longer-term planning. At times, people are referred when there are memory problems too. Memory loss can have many causes, and in many cases a neurological review helps sort out what is going on and what might help next.


He also works with patients where the cause is more complex. For example, cortical dysplasia and encephalitis can bring real challenges. When scans or tests show changes in the brain, care needs to be steady and clear, and treatment often takes time to get right.


There can also be links between the nervous system and other body conditions. For instance, thymic epithelial tumour is listed among the conditions managed in this practice, along with neurological follow-up when that is relevant.


Over time, Dr Somerville has helped many people and families understand their symptoms, cope with medication routines, and think through what to do if things flare up again. The goal is to make the next steps feel manageable, not scary.


Education details for Dr Somerville are not shown on this profile. Like most clinicians, he stays up to date as treatment approaches change, especially in areas such as epilepsy care where options can keep improving.
