About of Andrew B. Kneebone

Andrew B. Kneebone is a Gastroenterologist in Gordon, NSW. His clinic is at 7-9 Merriwa Street, Gordon, NSW 2072, Australia. Gastroenterology is about the health of the digestive system, and that can be everything from day-to-day gut problems to more serious conditions.


Andrew looks after people with long-term bowel conditions as well as issues that need quicker checks. This can include colitis, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and proctitis. At times, he also treats people with bleeding or inflammation in the rectum, such as hemorrhagic proctocolitis.


There are also patients who come in because of bowel changes or cancer concerns. Andrew works with people dealing with colorectal cancer, and he helps manage problems related to pancreatic cancer. He also treats other GI-related issues, including swallowing difficulty, which can affect how food and liquids move through the body.


Some care needs sit across more than one body system. Andrew also has experience supporting patients who have had or are facing procedures such as pancreatectomy and pancreaticoduodenectomy. He is also involved in care around urinary cancers, including bladder cancer and muscle invasive bladder cancer, and he looks after people with prostate cancer and after prostatectomy.


In many cases, people are worried and want clear answers. Andrew takes a calm, practical approach. He listens to what’s going on, checks symptoms, and helps explain the next steps in a way that makes sense. Over time, that can help people feel more in control, especially when dealing with ongoing inflammation or a new diagnosis.


When it comes to infection, he also sees patients with viral gastroenteritis and other gut upset that brings on significant symptoms. For patients who have had more complex health events, he can help coordinate ongoing digestive care, including follow-up when there is necrosis or other complications.


His experience is built from everyday specialist work with a wide range of digestive and related conditions. He also works with people who need careful management around treatment and recovery, including conditions like colitis-related illness and colorectal disease.


In terms of education, Andrew has training in medicine with a focus on gastroenterology, so he can assess digestive symptoms, interpret results, and plan care that fits the person in front of him. Research and clinical trials aren’t something he often advertises, but he keeps an eye on changes that can improve how care is delivered.
