Introduction

We support Gastroenterologists, Colorectal and General Surgeons who aim to provide quality and affordable care for their patients.

The specialists we support provide their patients with a treatment plan patients following their initial consultation that encompasses all their concerns, both medical and surgical, with a timeline for treatment and a cost-estimate, so there are absolutely no financial surprises along the way.

Each independent doctor, anaesthetist and pathologist supported by the Centre operates their medical practice on a strictly “no-gap” basis for all endoscopic and surgical procedures.

Every patient has constant email access to our clinical nurses and practice managers to triage any issues prior to, during, and after treatment. We know this helps put your mind at ease.

Almost half of the referrals that attend the Centre come from other patients of the independent specialist supported by the Centre. Some of the independent specialist we support have treated entire families of some of their patients. Put yourself in the hands of quality physicians and surgeons.

Vision

A New Era of Medicine and Surgery – from the director Dr Pran Yoganathan.

Having been trained in medicine and during the rise of the technological era, I have watched techniques and knowledge improve drastically in the last decade. Australian doctors have accumulated a broad based and widely taught basic skill set that will allow for exponential growth in minimally invasive surgical and endoscopic techniques.

Our average client now has a wealth of knowledge at their fingertips thanks to the internet. However, the empowerment granted can be a double-edged sword as the amount of information is daunting and often incorrect.

The Centre and the independent specialists and health professionals it supports aim to help their clients experience the highest level of care, but also exceed it, and be able to communicate techniques, concerns, and results in an effective manner to a new genre of patients.

I am also a believer in the concept of “modern lifestyles” contributing to illness and disease. Your specialist is equipped with the knowledge to help guide their clients to achieve their best possible health. I am passionate about human health and I believe the current approach of a drug-centric method is fraught with issues due to economic constraints. A comprehensive approach to healthcare encompassing nutrition is what is required, and everyone at the Centre aims to provide this.
