Robb Wesselingh is a neurologist based in Melbourne, working from Level 6, 99 Commercial Road, Melbourne VIC 3004, Australia. Neurology can feel confusing and scary at first, especially when symptoms come and go. Robb’s work focuses on helping people understand what’s happening in the nervous system, and making a plan that fits day to day life.
He looks after patients with seizure conditions, including absence seizures and generalised tonic-clonic seizures. Many people also come with epilepsy, and some have trouble with ongoing symptoms that need careful follow-up. At times, neurological symptoms can change quickly, so timely assessment and clear communication matter.
Robb also works with people living with multiple sclerosis (MS), including relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS). MS is not one single problem. It can affect energy, balance, vision, sensation and more, and it often needs long-term support. In many cases, the goal is to reduce flare-ups and help people keep moving as normally as possible.
Autoimmune and inflammation-related brain conditions are another key part of his care. This can include anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis and encephalitis, where the brain becomes inflamed and behaviour, thinking, mood or movement can be affected. He also sees people with Hashimoto thyroiditis-related issues, as well as neurotoxicity syndromes. For some patients, infections are part of the story too, including COVID-19 and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).
In severe situations, he may be involved in care for complex medical problems where the nervous system is affected, including disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). DIC is a serious condition, and it needs fast, coordinated management. Having a neurologist alongside the wider team can help when symptoms are not straightforward.
Over time, Robb has built experience caring for people with complex neurological conditions across hospital and clinic settings. His education is in medicine with ongoing training in neurology and neurological care. Research and publications are not listed here, and clinical trial details are not provided. The focus stays on practical assessment, getting the right diagnosis, and supporting patients and families through a tough time.
