Martijn P. Gosselink is a Gastroenterologist based at 176 Hawkesbury Road, Westmead NSW 2145. He works with people who need help with gut and bowel health, especially when things have become uncomfortable, ongoing, or hard to manage.
In many cases, care can start with listening to what’s happening and then sorting out the best next step. That might include looking closely with endoscopy, or reviewing bowel symptoms in a way that’s practical and supportive. Gastrointestinal issues can affect day to day life more than people expect, so the focus is on getting things under control as safely as possible.
His clinic work covers a range of bowel and digestive conditions. This can include bowel incontinence, rectal prolapse, and problems like hemorrhoids and diverticular disease. At times, people also come in after changes in bowel habits, pain, or bleeding that needs proper checks, including evaluation for colorectal concerns such as colorectal cancer and appendix cancer. He also supports patients who have conditions that need careful follow-up, including diverticular problems and other bowel-related issues.
Some cases are more complex. Martijn also looks after people dealing with issues like gastrointestinal fistula, pilonidal sinus disease, and intussusception in children. There are also situations where care connects with pain and recovery, including acute pain and post-appendectomy or appendix-related concerns. For people living with HIV/AIDS, there can be extra things to consider around the gut, and coordinated care matters.
A key part of this work is making sure investigations are done in a clear, careful way. Endoscopy can help doctors see what’s going on and guide treatment. In the background, clinical decision-making aims to keep risk low and outcomes steady. Over time, that can help patients feel more in control, not just “wait and see”.
Martijn’s practice also includes treatment planning around sacral nerve stimulation, which can be an option for certain long-term bowel control problems. It’s not the right fit for everyone, but for the right person it can make a real difference.
Details like experience and education aren’t listed here, and there’s no research or clinical trial information provided. Still, the core approach is grounded in hands-on gastroenterology and colorectal care, with clear next steps and sensible follow-up.
