About of Deepak S. Gill

Deepak S. Gill is a Pediatric Neurologist based in Westmead, NSW. The clinic is located at Hawkesbury Rd, Westmead 2145. He works with children and families across a range of brain and nerve conditions that affect how kids think, move, and sleep.


Most visits are about seizures and epilepsy. This can look different from one child to the next. Some kids have absence seizures, drop attacks, or episodes that start in sleep. Others have problems like Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) or Dravet syndrome, or they may have developmental seizure types such as myoclonic-atonic seizures. There are also times when the goal is to get help with status epilepticus, or with seizure plans when symptoms keep coming back.


Deepak also looks after children with other neurological and movement concerns. At times this includes conditions linked with brain inflammation, including encephalitis, and reactions to infections. Some children need support when there are signs of regression, memory and language changes, or trouble with attention and learning, such as in Landau-Kleffner syndrome. He also manages cases where muscle tone is affected, including hypotonia, and may be part of care for movement disorders.


There are also genetic and development-related diagnoses that can come up in paediatric neurology care. Examples in this practice include CDKL5 deficiency disorder and Rett syndrome, along with several other rare genetic syndromes. Children may also be assessed where there are complex symptoms like spasticity (such as spastic paraplegia type 2 or type 7) or movement patterns involving the face and airway, including conditions like Crouzon syndrome and Treacher Collins syndrome.


In many cases, care needs time and close follow-up. The focus is on understanding the child’s patterns, supporting families with practical next steps, and adjusting management when episodes change. Deepak works with the broader health team so care fits around school, sleep, and everyday life.
