Richard H. Holloway is a Gastroenterologist who works out of Port Road in Adelaide, SA 5000. His clinic care is aimed at people with digestive system problems, from everyday gut discomfort to issues that need closer tests.
In many cases, patients come in with reflux and heartburn, indigestion, or symptoms linked to bowel habits. He also looks after people with conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and peptic ulcer disease. At times, swallowing problems can be part of the story too, including conditions such as achalasia, where the food pipe does not work properly.
Endoscopy is an important part of the work. This helps check what is going on in the oesophagus, stomach and bowel, and it can guide the next steps when symptoms are persistent. People who need a colonoscopy are also supported, especially when there are concerns like gastrointestinal bleeding. He may also assess issues linked to inflammation, including oesophagitis and eosinophilic oesophagitis, as well as eosinophilic enteropathy.
Some patients have conditions that can be more complex, such as oesophageal varices and portal hypertension. He also provides care when malnutrition is a factor, or when ongoing symptoms affect nutrition and overall wellbeing. For movement-related conditions like Parkinson’s disease, gut symptoms can sometimes overlap, and this can be part of the broader picture he helps manage.
Practical experience is central to how he approaches care, especially when deciding what tests are needed and how to make the results make sense. Education, research, and any clinical trial involvement are not listed here, but the focus stays on clear, step-by-step gastro check-ups and ongoing support for the conditions above.
