Larissa K. Dill is a neurologist based in Melbourne, VIC 3004, Australia. She works with people who are dealing with ongoing brain and nerve health concerns, especially issues that show up as seizures or after a head injury. Neurology can be a lot to take in. A big part of the work is helping patients and families understand what is going on and what can be done next.
In day-to-day care, Larissa looks after patients with traumatic brain injury. After a concussion or more serious injury, some people develop symptoms that stick around, including changes in how they feel, think, or cope, and at times ongoing seizure risk. Getting the right assessment early can matter, particularly when symptoms are not settling as expected.
Seizures are another major part of her work. This includes absence seizures, where episodes can look like brief staring or daydreaming. It also includes generalised tonic-clonic seizures, which can be more obvious and can be very scary for everyone involved. With the right plan, many people can get better control and a clearer idea of triggers and what to do during an episode.
Larissa also treats genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+). Conditions like this can run in families and can start in childhood, though symptoms and patterns can vary a lot between people. Having a calm, steady approach helps, because families often want simple answers and a plan that fits real life.
More broadly, her focus is on seizures—understanding the pattern, checking likely causes, and working out practical steps for management. At times, this may involve reviewing medications, discussing safety at home and school or work, and making sure follow-up is clear.
As a Melbourne neurologist, Larissa is part of the local community and understands that people don’t just need tests. They need clear communication, support, and a plan they can stick with. Neurology visits can feel overwhelming, but the goal is always the same: help reduce uncertainty, support safe outcomes, and improve day-to-day wellbeing where possible.
For specific details about education, experience, publications, or any clinical trials, the best next step is to ask the practice team directly.
