Prof Peter Danne is a colorectal surgeon who also works as a general surgeon. He’s based in Richmond, VIC, and provides care at Suite 8.8, The Epworth Centre, 32 Erin Street, Richmond VIC 3121.
Peter looks after people with bowel and anal conditions. In many cases, that means helping with things like haemorrhoids, anal fissures, and fistulas. These can be really uncomfortable, and they often affect day-to-day life more than people expect. He also helps with colonoscopy, which is used to check the bowel and look into ongoing gut symptoms.
Procedures are planned around what’s going on and what the person wants. For example, when treatment is needed for anal fissures or fistulas, the goal is to reduce pain and support healing. When haemorrhoids are the issue, care can focus on symptom relief and making things more manageable. At times, follow-up is important too, especially if symptoms keep coming back.
Being a bowel and general surgeon means the work can span a few different needs, from getting the right tests done, to treating problems that involve the lower bowel. Colonoscopy is part of that picture, and it can be useful both for diagnosis and for checking that everything is tracking in the right direction.
Over time, this kind of care builds trust because problems in the anal or bowel area can feel awkward to talk about. Peter’s approach is steady and practical, with clear explanations and straightforward next steps. People usually want to know what’s happening, what options exist, and what to expect from treatment and recovery.
