About the Practice

A long-standing clinic built on care, connection & trust

As an independent practice within the Mater Hill Medical Centre, we work closely with local GPs, hospitals, and other specialists to provide coordinated, evidence-based care.

Many of our patients have been with us for years, returning for regular surveillance, advice, and follow-up, it's a reflection of the trust we’ve built through genuine compassion and professionalism.

Each consultation is guided by one simple philosophy: to help every patient understand their health, feel comfortable in their care, and achieve the best possible outcome.

Everything you might want to know before seeing a gastroenterologist

How do I know if I need a colonoscopy?

You may need one if you’re experiencing persistent digestive symptoms such as bleeding, unexplained abdominal pain, or changes in bowel habits — or if you’re due for bowel cancer screening. Your GP can help determine if it’s necessary.

Can you help with long-term conditions like Crohn’s disease or liver disease?

Yes. Our specialists diagnose and manage ongoing digestive and liver conditions such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, reflux, and cirrhosis. We work closely with your GP and other specialists to ensure continuous care.

What makes Mater Hill Gastroenterology different?

Our doctors take the time to listen. Every patient receives thoughtful, personalised care — not rushed appointments. With over 14 years of specialist experience, we combine advanced diagnostics with genuine compassion and clear communication.

How long will I need to rest afterwards?

Plan to rest for the remainder of the day. Because sedation is used, you’ll need a responsible adult to drive you home and stay with you. You can return to normal activities the following day.

When will I receive my results?

Your doctor will discuss any immediate findings before you leave. If biopsies or lab tests are taken, results are usually available within one week.

Will my GP be updated?

Yes. Your referring GP will receive a detailed report outlining your procedure, findings, and recommended follow-up care.

Will my procedure hurt or feel uncomfortable?

All procedures are performed under sedation, so you won’t feel pain or discomfort. Our team will make sure you’re relaxed and cared for throughout.

Will I feel embarrassed?

It’s normal to feel nervous, but rest assured — we perform these procedures every day with complete professionalism and respect for your privacy. You’ll be looked after by an experienced and compassionate team.

What’s the difference between a colonoscopy and an endoscopy?

A colonoscopy examines the large bowel (colon) to investigate bleeding, changes in bowel habits, or polyps. An endoscopy examines the oesophagus, stomach, and upper small intestine to diagnose reflux, ulcers, or swallowing problems.

Do I need a referral to see a gastroenterologist?

Yes. You’ll need a valid referral from your GP or specialist before booking an appointment. This ensures your visit is eligible for Medicare rebates and helps our doctors understand your medical history in advance.

How soon can I get an appointment?

Appointment availability depends on the reason for referral and how urgent it is. Once we receive your referral, our reception team will review it and contact you to arrange a suitable time. If your GP has marked the referral as urgent, we will prioritise it accordingly.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Please bring your referral letter if it has not already been sent to us, along with a list of any medications you are currently taking. It also helps to bring your Medicare card and private health details if you have them. If you have had recent test results or imaging, bring copies with you if possible.
