George B. Hanna is a Gastroenterologist based in Melbourne, working from 305 Grattan St, VIC 3000.
His work focuses on the digestive system, especially problems that involve the oesophagus, stomach and gut. That can include long-term reflux issues like GERD, and changes in the lining such as Barrett’s oesophagus. Over time, these problems can need careful checking, and that’s where endoscopy often comes in.
George also looks after people with cancers that affect the oesophagus, stomach and other parts of the digestive tract. In many cases, treatment plans depend on what scans and tests show, and procedures like biopsy and tissue sampling can help guide next steps.
At times, patients are dealing with pain, swallowing problems, or blockage-like symptoms. Conditions such as achalasia and hiatal hernia can make swallowing feel difficult and uncomfortable, and they may need a mix of tests and ongoing management.
Some appointments are about urgent or serious issues too. That can include oesophageal perforation, acute pain, or situations linked to major complications. Cases like these need a steady approach and quick, clear decisions, along with support for symptom control.
He also treats a range of related stomach and abdominal concerns, including peptic ulcer disease, gastritis-type problems, and ongoing issues with the digestive system’s movement such as gastroparesis. Gallbladder problems are part of the picture as well, including gallbladder disease and gallbladder removal when that’s the right call.
Along with care in the consulting setting, George’s profile also includes experience with endoscopy and surgical-related care, such as gastrectomy and other procedures when needed for complex illness.
Education and work experience details are not listed in the profile, so it’s hard to confirm training history or years of practice from this information alone. The same goes for languages, if any.
The profile also notes that there are items related to publications and clinical trials, but the specific titles and topics aren’t shown here. If you’d like, you can ask the clinic for details about any recent work, including what trials might be relevant for your situation.
