Colonoscopy and endoscopy in Cleveland
Your first appointment is a consultation with Dr Goutham to review your symptoms, history and bowel-cancer risk. If a colonoscopy or gastroscopy is appropriate, it is performed under gentle sedation by Dr Goutham himself — never delegated.
Having a local Redlands option means a shorter trip, easier parking and a familiar setting — helpful when you need a support person to drive you home after sedation.
One specialist, every step
From your first consultation through your procedure to your follow-up, you see the same specialist — an Australian-trained general and endoscopic surgeon with GESA accreditation in both gastroscopy and colonoscopy.
Your procedure day in Cleveland
Redlands procedures are done at Mater Private Hospital Redland, minutes from the Weippin Street consulting rooms — so your consultation, procedure and follow-up all happen bayside rather than an hour up the highway.
You’ll be given an arrival time for admission and a pre-procedure check with the anaesthetist. Dr Goutham performs your colonoscopy or gastroscopy personally under sedation, and comes to see you in recovery to explain what he found before you’re discharged. A written report goes to your GP, and if biopsies were taken you’ll get histology results at your review.
You can’t drive after sedation. A responsible adult must drive you home and stay with you overnight, and you should avoid work, driving and legal paperwork for 24 hours. The Redland campus has on-site parking, which makes drop-off and pick-up straightforward for a support person.
For bayside patients this usually means a shorter trip, an easier park and a familiar hospital — which matters more than people expect on a day you’ll be sedated.
