Diagnostic Endoscopy Centre

The Diagnostic Endoscopy Centre is a dedicated day hospital facility focused on the diagnosis and management of conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The centre provides specialised procedures, including gastroscopy and colonoscopy, to examine the oesophagus, stomach, duodenum, and colon. Its team of specialist doctors possesses expertise in diagnosing a wide range of bowel, colon, and gastrointestinal disorders.

Situated within St Vincent's Private Hospital, the Diagnostic Endoscopy Centre benefits from access to a comprehensive suite of support services. These include pathology and radiology, as well as other specialist medical services and practitioners. This association ensures that patients can receive integrated care and, when necessary, have access to in-hospital beds.

The centre operates an open access system for procedures, which allows for direct booking of certain endoscopic examinations. However, for individuals with serious underlying health conditions or co-morbidities, a prior consultation with a specialist is required to ensure tailored and appropriate management of their care. The staff can provide guidance on the necessity of a pre-procedure consultation based on an individual's medical history.
