Gastroenterology & Advanced Endoscopy
Send your endoscopy, pathology and imaging reports for review by a gastroenterologist who performs advanced diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy. The specialist advises whether an endoscopic approach is suitable, which further tests are needed, and when surgery or surveillance may be the better option.
No reports yet? You can still start an enquiry. Ask a coordinator which records the specialist needs.

Review process
- 1Confidential record submission
- 2Gastroenterologist review
- 3Advice on suitability and any further tests
- 4Written plan and cost guidance
- 5Travel, procedure and follow-up coordination
Whether a lesion or condition can be treated endoscopically depends on its size, depth, pathology and your overall health. Some patients are better served by surgery, medication or surveillance. Risks such as bleeding or perforation are discussed with the specialist before any decision. No outcome can be guaranteed.
