Jessica Qiu is a Neurologist based in Westmead, NSW, Australia. She works with people who are dealing with brain, nerve, and movement problems. Cases can range from ongoing movement disorders to sudden or unusual symptoms that need careful checking.
In clinic, Jessica looks after patients with conditions such as movement disorders, apraxia, and drug induced dyskinesia. She also helps people with problems like torticollis, where the neck muscles can tighten or pull in a way that is hard to control. At times, symptoms can be confusing and change over weeks or months, so having a steady plan matters.
Some patients she sees have rarer neurological conditions. This can include Susac syndrome, congenital myasthenic syndrome, and palatal myoclonus. She also treats people with palatal and throat muscle issues, including spasmodic dysphonia, which can affect how the voice works. These cases often need a clear explanation and a practical approach to day-to-day life.
Jessica also takes retinal artery occlusion seriously. Even though it affects the eye, it can link back to the nervous system and the blood vessels that supply the brain and eye. Getting the right assessment quickly can make a big difference to how things are handled next.
Her approach is calm and grounded. She focuses on understanding what’s happening for each person, and then making sure the care fits the symptoms, not just the diagnosis on paper. Over time, that can help people feel more in control, especially when treatment needs to be adjusted as symptoms evolve.
Jessica’s education is in the field of neurology, with a training base that covers disorders of the brain, nerves, and movement. For some people, there can be a lot of tests involved, and at times it can feel like a long process. She aims to keep things straightforward and explain what each step is trying to find out.
When relevant, she also considers research directions that may support better care for neurological conditions. For clinical trials, the details depend on what is suitable for the individual case, so those options are discussed based on the situation.
