About of Cilla Zhou

Cilla Zhou is a neurologist working out of 22-32 King St, Randwick, NSW 2031. Neurology can feel overwhelming at first, especially when it involves seizures. Cilla focuses on helping people and families understand what is happening and what can be done next, in a calm and practical way.


In clinic, Cilla looks after patients who live with different seizure types. This can include Dravet syndrome, myoclonic epilepsy, and absence seizures. She also treats people with epilepsy and a mix of seizure types, such as myoclonic-atonic seizures and generalised tonic-clonic seizures. At times, symptoms can change over months and years, so appointments are often about patterns, triggers, and keeping things steady.


Seizures can affect school, sleep, daily routines, and even family stress. Cilla’s approach is about making the plan clear and easy to follow. That might mean talking through medication options, side effects, and what to do during a seizure. It can also mean checking how well treatment is working, and adjusting things when needed. In many cases, small changes can make a big difference in day-to-day life.


Over time, families often want to know what to watch for and when to seek urgent help. Cilla helps explain the signs that matter most, and supports families with realistic next steps. There’s a lot of uncertainty with neurological conditions, so the goal is to bring things back to what is known, what is being tested, and what can be managed right now.


Cilla also keeps an eye on new research and updated clinical guidance. This helps with making sure care stays current, especially as treatment approaches evolve. When clinical trials are relevant and a person is a good fit, they can be discussed as an option, but only if it makes sense for their situation.


For education and training, Cilla’s background is in neurology, with a focus on seizure care and long-term support. If you are looking for a neurologist in the Randwick area for ongoing seizure management, Cilla can be a steady, grounding presence while you work through diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up.
