5 Best Gastroenterologists in Brisbane Compared on Care and Cost
Gut pain that won’t go away can leave you unsure who to see, especially with a colonoscopy referral in your hands.
The right specialist should be experienced, easy to reach, and clear about cost, because that decides how quickly you get answers.
So I compared Brisbane specialist clinics on expertise, service range, locations, and cost. I also checked hospital partnerships and how easy each clinic makes booking.
After much research, here are the best gastroenterologists in Brisbane for chronic conditions and procedures like colonoscopies.
How much does a gastroenterologist visit cost in Brisbane?
A gastroenterologist visit in Brisbane costs from $160 for a follow-up consultation to $374 for an initial consultation, while self-funded procedures start at $1,650.
| Service type | Typical fee range | Medicare rebate and out-of-pocket cost |
| Initial consultation | $250 to $374 | About $148 to $155 rebate ($100 to $220 gap) |
| Follow-up consultation | $160 to $195 | About $74 to $78 rebate ($85 to $120 gap) |
| Single procedure (self-funded) | From $1,650 | Varies by facility |
| Combined procedure (self-funded) | Up to $1,950 | Varies by facility |
1. Colonoscopy Clinic
Website: colonoscopyclinic.com.au
Address: 3 Gregory Terrace, Spring Hill (head office)
Contact: 07 3870 3799 | Fax: 07 3177 9965
Hours: Clinic office: Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM | Saturday to Sunday, closed | Procedures: advertised six days a week at hospital locations
Waiting weeks for answers about gut symptoms that won’t go away is stressful. That’s why I really love Colonoscopy Clinic’s promise of providing appointments within two weeks.
They work from 13 hospital locations across Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, and their procedures run 6 days a week. That makes it easier to fit one around work.
You also get direct access to a dedicated team of specialists. A local patient I spoke with recently had an endoscopic screening there and said the team handled booking coordination, comprehensive dietary guidance and detailed procedure prep smoothly.
However, the hospital location varies by procedure, so confirm your venue beforehand to make sure you arrive at the right place.

The Specialist/s who have performed my procedures have been very thorough,
I have had 8 Colonoscopy Procedures with the previous Gastro Enterology Clinic, now the Colonoscopy Clinic, and have never been able to fault their dedication to ensuring a smooth and trouble free pathway in arranging and booking my procedures with the hospital and availability to answer any concerns I may have had. The Specialist/s who have performed my procedures have been very thorough, professional, understanding, professional., and would thoroughly recommend them.

Long-term gut health can mean juggling several specialists. My Gut Care (founded by Dr Asif Shahzad) puts gut dietitians, upper gastrointestinal surgeons and psychologists under one clinical umbrella. That supports your long-term digestive health in one place.
Their consultation rooms span Upper Mount Gravatt, Ipswich, Cleveland, Spring Hill and Greenslopes, so you can pick the one closest to you.
On the clinical side, they offer thorough specialist checks, iron infusions and advanced testing. The practice handles everything from routine colonoscopies to complex capsule endoscopies.
However, consultations and procedures happen at different hospitals, so check your booking details and the address for each visit to avoid turning up at the wrong place.

Caring and understanding Gastro Specialist,
I found Dr Shahzad a caring and understanding Gastro Specialist, one of a kind. Dr Shahzad is open to all ideas including alternate Medicine listening & learning. His main aim is to ensure he finds a resolution for your Medical issue. Dr Shahzad performed a successful Faceal Transplant. I would highly recommend obtaining a referral to see Dr Shahzad at My Gut Care My Gravatt.
Dr Shahzad and Team are lovely and extremely friendly.

Dr Shahzad was the only one who was able to help me.
Great practice. Before seeing Doctor Azif Shahzad at this practice, I had seen two gastroenterologists and two GPs, none of which could diagnose or help me. Dr Shahzad was the only one who was able to help me. With the methods and treatment he gave me, I was able to make a full recovery. Great bedside manners as well – you can tell he is in the medical field to truly help people. I would recommend him any day of the week to anyone who needs help with any gut problems.

3. Brisbane Endoscopy Services
Website: ssendoscopy.com.au
Address: 16-18/259 McCullough Street, Sunnybank
Contact: 07 3801 2220 | 07 3806 1689
Hours: Office hours: Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM | Bookings and enquiries: Monday to Friday, 8:15 AM to 6:00 PM
Preparing for a colonoscopy feels easier when someone explains each step. Brisbane Endoscopy Services knows the process well, with more than 30 years of experience at their Sunnybank and Loganholme locations.
That experience shows in how they prepare you. I spoke with a colleague who used their Sunnybank facility, and he found the thorough consultation with a registered nurse before their routine colonoscopy reassuring.
They also offer specialist tests, iron infusions, and treatment.
The practice invests heavily in modern technology too, including Olympus endoscopy systems that give high-resolution imaging.
However, bookings and enquiries are only taken on weekdays. I recommend planning your scheduling calls well ahead of time if you need to book a procedure.
Customer Reviews
Caring staff before going under and upon waking,
Lovely, professional staff from front desk, all nurses, anaesthetist, and of course, Dr Miros himself.
I was well informed and cared for throughout my preparation and before my procedures.
Caring staff before going under and upon waking, and nice sandwich, biscuits and a perfect cup of tea before heading home.
Highly recommend. Thank you for making something unpleasant easier to deal with!

The process is seamless from initially meeting the registered nurse
All staff provide golden star customer service. The process is seamless from initially meeting the registered nurse pre-procedure to the day of the colonoscopy. The procedure preparation is supplemented with very clear, personalised printed outline. Well done team

4. Mater Hill Gastroenterology
Website: materhillgastro.com.au
Address: Suite 5.10, Level 5, Mater Private Clinic, 550 Stanley Street, South Brisbane
Contact: 07 3163 7820 | Fax: 07 3163 1371 | [email protected]
Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM | Bookings arranged after the clinic reviews a referral
Liver and gut conditions that last often need care from several experts. Mater Hill Gastroenterology puts gastroenterologists and hepatologists in one team inside the Mater Private Clinic in South Brisbane, so hospital coordination backs their care.
Their team manages long-term conditions like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, as well as chronic acid reflux and liver cirrhosis.
When those need a closer look, you can also get advanced tests and procedures. These include FibroScan, endoscopic ultrasound, and Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
However, you need a valid medical referral before you can book an appointment. If you’re having sedation, you also have to arrange a responsible escort home afterwards.
Customer Reviews

Thank you so much to Dr Vigh and the admin staff at Mater Hill Gastroenterology for fitting me in for a current procedure and follow up so quickly. I was/am extremely anxious about my health condition and it is so helpful to be given the time to talk and ask advice about what I needed in my situation. The procedure also went well and smoothly. I appreciate the assistance and care you are providing. Sending kind regards.

Training matters when you’re choosing a specialist for bowel cancer prevention or complex bile duct problems.

His main focus is bowel cancer prevention, but he also works on iron deficiency anaemia, bariatric endoscopy and complex pancreatic and bile duct diseases.
You can see him at three major hospital-based locations across Chermside, Spring Hill and Everton Park.
However, consultations and procedures are booked separately, so you need to coordinate your visits, paperwork and preparation carefully.
Customer Reviews
I found him to be very professional , informative , dedicated
Due to emergency admission to hospital I.was assigned Dr Jason Huang to access my medical condition. I found him to be very professional , informative , dedicated and friendly which made me feel very comfortable and confident with his approach to my problem. After my recovery period I feel amazing and would have no hesitating recommending him or returning to him in the future should the need arise.
Kay Bolton | Google Review
Altogether, we find Jason to be a truly dedicated gastroenterologist.
I have watched Dr Jason Huang’s consultations and treatment of a 93 year old lady, and have found him to be totally professional, knowledgeable, and with an empathetic approach and “beside manner”. He always made the patient (and me) feel exceptionally confident in him and his decisions and suggestions. Although a young man, he has that wonderful ability to impart his findings and recommendations in a manner that is always easily understood, and he always ensures that we understand just what he is telling us. Altogether, we find Jason to be a truly dedicated gastroenterologist.
