About of Kirsty Stewart

Kirsty Stewart is a Neurologist based in Sydney, NSW. She looks after people who need help with brain and nerve conditions, especially when movement and seizures are part of everyday life.


In practice, Kirsty works with patients dealing with cerebral palsy and spasticity, including spastic diplegia (infantile type). She also supports families and patients who have rarer movement-related conditions, such as athetosis and chorea, and some people who have chronic pain linked to nerve and brain signals.


Seizures are another big part of her work. This can include epilepsy, including epilepsy with myoclonic- atonic seizures. At times, neurologic care also covers conditions like Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome, where symptoms can affect the brain and nervous system over time. Some patients also experience drug induced dyskinesia, and Kirsty helps manage the effects and adjust the care plan as needed.


Kirsty’s care is not just about diagnosis. She also helps guide treatment options when symptoms are hard to control. This may include looking at procedures such as rhizotomy for certain types of spasticity. She can also discuss deep brain stimulation for selected cases where it may help with ongoing movement problems.


Her approach is steady and practical. Neurology can feel overwhelming, so Kirsty focuses on clear next steps and supports people through the ups and downs that can come with long-term conditions. In many cases, care also means working with other health professionals to keep treatment aligned across different needs.
