Monique R. Stagnitti is a neurologist based in 18 Innovation Walk, Melbourne, VIC 3800. Neurology can feel like a big word, but in day to day care it often comes down to helping people understand what’s happening with their brain, nerves, and movement.
Monique works with children, teens, and adults who live with neurological conditions that can affect how the body moves, how speech develops, or how the brain manages signals. This can include epilepsy and seizure-related disorders, as well as movement disorders.
In many cases, the focus is on conditions like Parkinson’s disease and drug-induced movement problems, including dyskinesia. At times, care is also aimed at people with ataxias, where balance and coordination can be affected. Families may come in looking for help with inherited forms too, such as hereditary ataxia and spinocerebellar ataxia.
Some patients are living with epilepsy syndromes and developmental seizure conditions. Monique cares for people with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), and broader concerns around epilepsy. There can also be attention to developmental dysphasia in families, and other childhood neurological needs.
Movement and eye movement issues may also be part of the picture. For example, spasmus nutans can be a reason people seek specialist help, especially when it shows up early in childhood. Monique also looks after movement-related concerns, including conditions listed under movement disorders.
As a neurologist, Monique’s approach is practical and grounded. Neurological symptoms can change over time, so care is often about sorting out what’s going on, making a clear plan, and adjusting that plan as things evolve. If you’re dealing with a complex mix of movement, seizures, or development-related concerns, having a neurologist involved can make the path forward feel less confusing.
