Shekeeb S. Mohammad is a Neurologist based in Sydney, NSW, Australia. She looks after people who need help with brain, nerve, and movement problems. This can include kids, teens, and adults, depending on the condition and what the care plan needs.
In many cases, care involves supporting families through tough diagnoses. Shekeeb works with people dealing with seizures and epilepsy, including focal seizures and generalised tonic-clonic seizures. She also looks after conditions like absence seizures and movement-related issues such as tics, dystonia, and drug-induced dyskinesia.
Autoimmune and infectious brain conditions are another key part of her work. Examples include encephalitis and anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis. At times, patients also need help with herpes simplex encephalitis, subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, and other related inflammation of the brain. There are also neurological conditions linked with the immune system, like multiple sclerosis (MS), neuromyelitis optica, and transverse myelitis.
Movement disorders can be both physical and emotional in day-to-day life. Shekeeb also helps with Parkinson’s disease, myoclonus-dystonia, spasticity, and spastic diplegia. Some people come in with dystonia or other coordination problems that affect speech and movement, and these are discussed in a practical way so treatment fits the person’s routine.
Developmental and rare neurological conditions may also be part of her clinic work. This can include problems such as cerebral palsy, alternating hemiplegia of childhood, developmental brain changes, and syndromes that affect growth and development. Some examples she commonly sees include West syndrome, polymicrogyria, corpus callosum agenesis, and microcephaly-related conditions.
Shekeeb’s approach is calm and focused on what matters most for each patient. She takes time to explain the next steps, including how symptoms like seizures, movement changes, and inflammation are usually managed. The goal is steady, clear care that supports families over time.
