Daniel So is a Gastroenterologist based in Melbourne, working from Level 6, 99 Commercial Road, Melbourne, VIC 3004. His focus is on gut health, especially when things feel off in the tummy and bowel. Gastro problems can be stressful, and the aim is to make sense of what’s going on and help you get back to normal life.
In many cases, Daniel looks after people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). That can mean belly pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits that come and go. He also sees patients dealing with viral gastroenteritis, where nausea, vomiting, tummy cramps, and diarrhoea can pop up suddenly. These are often common conditions, but they can still hit hard, especially if you’re dealing with work, family, or travel around the same time.
Over time, Daniel has built experience caring for people with ongoing and short-term digestive issues. He takes a steady approach, starting with a clear history and then working out the most practical next steps. At times, this might include basic checks, advice on diet and day-to-day habits, and planning follow-up if symptoms keep going.
He understands that gut symptoms can affect sleep, energy, and mood. So it’s not just about the test results. It’s also about how symptoms show up for you, what makes them better or worse, and what you can realistically do in the week ahead. The goal is usually to reduce symptoms, support recovery, and spot red flags early if they appear.
Daniel’s education and training in medicine helps him handle digestive conditions with care and good clinical judgement. Like many doctors, he keeps up with newer information when it’s helpful, such as updates to guidelines and evidence about managing conditions like IBS and gastroenteritis.
If you’re not sure whether your symptoms fit IBS, a viral stomach bug, or something else, Daniel can help sort it out. He looks at the bigger picture, not just one symptom, and works with you to plan care that suits your situation. Many people want answers quickly, and in clinic, that’s where the conversation starts—calm, clear, and focused on what matters.
