About of Kevin J. Gaskin

Kevin J. Gaskin is a Gastroenterologist based in Sydney, NSW, Australia. He works with people who have issues that affect the gut and other digestive organs. These problems can be uncomfortable and stressful, and the goal is to help you understand what’s going on and what can be done next.


In clinic, Kevin looks after patients with a range of digestive and related health concerns. This includes conditions like exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, where the pancreas doesn’t help the body break down food the way it should. He also supports people dealing with bile duct issues, such as bile duct obstruction and bile duct cysts. At times, cholestasis can be part of the picture too, which is when bile flow slows or stops.


Kevin also cares for patients with cystic fibrosis, and for families managing the day-to-day side of that condition. Some cases can involve digestive symptoms that need careful checking, not just once, but as things change over time. He understands that eating, weight, and energy levels matter, and those details are often part of the conversation from the start.


There are also situations where appetite and weight are affected. Kevin treats anorexia, and he focuses on gentle, practical steps that fit around real life. For some infants, he also helps with high blood pressure in infants, which needs prompt attention and ongoing follow-up.


Because digestive conditions can overlap in different ways, Kevin takes a steady approach to care. He aims to make sure the story fits the tests and the symptoms, so you’re not left guessing. Where helpful, he will guide next steps and discuss what to watch for at home, including when to seek help sooner.
