Daniel L. Chan is a gastroenterologist based in Kogarah, NSW. You can find him at Suite 3, Level 5, 1 South Street, Kogarah, NSW 2217, Australia. His work sits in the stomach and gut, and also covers issues that affect the oesophagus and bowel.
In day to day practice, Daniel looks after people with ongoing gut problems, as well as people who need help after an illness or surgery. That can include symptoms and conditions like gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), chronic erosive gastritis, gastritis, and peptic ulcer problems. At times, he also treats more serious issues such as liver cancer and appendix cancer, where early assessment matters.
Daniel also helps with bowel and hernia related concerns. Common examples include diverticular disease. He can also review and manage different types of hernias, including umbilical hernia, and other hernia issues like diaphragmatic hernia and omphalocele. For gallbladder problems, he treats things like gallstones, gallbladder disease, cholecystitis, and the need that sometimes comes after gallbladder removal.
When reflux, stomach discomfort, or bowel symptoms need a closer look, endoscopy is often part of the plan. Daniel performs and uses endoscopy as a way to see what is going on inside, and to help guide treatment. This can be useful in many cases, especially when symptoms keep coming back or when doctors need more information before deciding on the next step.
His care can also cover people dealing with infections and inflammation. For example, he treats viral gastroenteritis and pneumonia in some situations, including hospital-acquired pneumonia. He also looks after cases involving pseudomembranous colitis and peritonitis, including secondary peritonitis. These are not always routine visits, so clear follow up and careful monitoring are important.
Over time, Daniel’s work includes supporting patients through digestive and surgical conditions. That may involve reviewing and managing outcomes related to gastrectomy, gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and small bowel resection. It’s the sort of work where the details matter, and plans need to be practical.
At the moment, there isn’t specific information listed about formal research activities or clinical trials. However, his focus remains on sorting out stomach and gut issues in a steady, real-world way.
