Gastroenterology Services at Westside Private Hospital

Westside Private Hospital is one of Brisbane's most established destinations for gastroenterological care, with digestive health as a core specialty for more than two decades.

The hospital's team of highly credentialled gastroenterologists provides multidisciplinary assessment, diagnosis, and treatment across the full spectrum of gastrointestinal conditions including irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, coeliac disease, GORD, hepatology, fatty liver disease, colon cancer prevention and surveillance, and a broad range of functional gut disorders.

A standout feature is the hospital's Rapid Access Endoscopy service, which allows eligible patients including those with a positive faecal occult blood test (FOBT), unexplained abdominal pain, or persistent digestive symptoms — to undergo colonoscopy or gastroscopy within 14 days, without requiring an initial specialist consultation. This streamlined pathway ensures timely diagnosis and continuity of care in collaboration with referring GPs.

Should any abnormalities be identified, an on-site colorectal surgeon is available to manage ongoing treatment. Procedures are conducted in purpose-built endoscopy facilities with access to world-class gastrointestinal equipment, spacious day surgery rooms, and the on-site medihotel for added patient comfort.
