Located within the Mater Hill Medical Centre in South Brisbane, we offer a complete range of diagnostic and procedural services including Colonoscopy, Endoscopy, FibroScan, ERCP, EUS, and PillCam.
For more than 16 years, Mater Hill Gastroenterology has been helping patients across Brisbane, Sunnybank and Springfield understand and manage their digestive health.
Patients come to our doctors for expert investigation and treatment of conditions affecting the oesophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and bile ducts.
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.
