Looking for a Gastroenterologist? Self-referring to a specialist at The Bays is one way you can support our community-owned, not-for-profit hospital.
Our Gastroenterologists provide specialist assessment and treatment for a range of digestive health conditions, including performing colonoscopy, gastroscopy and ERCP onsite.
Our new dedicated Endoscopy Procedure Room, opened in January 2026, has significantly increased our capacity. In the six months to June, we performed 375 more gastroenterology procedures — a 23 per cent increase compared with the previous period.
“Endoscopy can help us investigate symptoms, find the cause of digestive problems and, when needed, take tissue samples for further testing.” – Dr Ali Eqbal, Gastroenterologist
Our Gastroenterologists work closely with our Colorectal Surgeons, including Dr Joyce Ma, who provides both endoscopy and surgical care at The Bays.
If you have ongoing digestive symptoms, such as abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, rectal bleeding, unexplained weight loss or persistent reflux, speak with your GP about whether specialist assessment is appropriate.
