A gastroenterologist is a specialist physician who diagnoses and treats conditions affecting the gut or digestive tract. The digestive system is a complex system that includes the oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, bowel, rectum, and anus. Gastroenterologists are experts in diagnosing and treating conditions that affect any part of the digestive system, such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, gastrointestinal bleeding, anaemia, coeliac disease and irritable bowel syndrome. In addition, gastroenterologists perform procedures such as colonoscopies and gastroscopies.
The typical waiting time for a new appointment is two weeks. Dr Lee will always endeavour to see urgent cases sooner. Please contact us with your referral if it is urgent. You may benefit from an admission to Wollongong Private Hospital for inpatient care and investigation if you have multiple medical issues or unwell where urgent attention is needed. It can be arranged directly through our office without attending the emergency department first.
