About of Robyn Secomb

Robyn Secomb is a Gastroenterologist based at Alfred Health in Melbourne, VIC, Australia.


She looks after people with gut and bowel concerns, especially issues that come up after symptoms like changes in bowel habits, ongoing tummy discomfort, or when tests show there might be polyps or other changes that need checking.


At Alfred Health, Robyn’s work often involves procedures like colonoscopy and endoscopy. These tests can help doctors see what’s going on inside the digestive tract, and in many cases they can also be used to take small samples, or remove things like polyps so they can be checked properly.


Colorectal polyps are a big part of her day-to-day focus. Polyps are quite common, but they can need follow-up to make sure they’re not causing problems and to lower risk over time. Having a clear plan for screening and follow-up matters, even when you feel okay.


Robyn works with patients through the whole process, from the first discussion about symptoms and next steps, to preparing for a procedure and then talking through what the results might mean. It can feel stressful waiting for results, so she keeps things calm and straightforward, and makes sure people understand what’s happening in plain language.


For anyone in Melbourne needing support with bowel health and digestive investigations, Robyn Secomb at Alfred Health offers a steady, practical approach to care—one step at a time.
