Peter R. Gibson is a Gastroenterologist based in Melbourne. His practice is at 99 Commercial Road, Melbourne, VIC 3004, Australia. Peter looks after people with a wide range of gut and stomach health issues, from everyday reflux and tummy discomfort to more ongoing bowel problems.
Many of his patients come in because they’re dealing with symptoms that won’t quite settle. This can include long-lasting diarrhoea or constipation, ongoing indigestion, or episodes of gastroenteritis. At times, people also need help with food intolerance and digestion problems, like lactose intolerance or malabsorption. Others are managing conditions that affect the oesophagus and upper gut, including eosinophilic oesophagitis and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), as well as peptic ulcers at times.
Peter also works with patients who have bowel inflammation. This includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, and related issues such as colitis and chronic idiopathic constipation. Some people have symptoms linked to bowel bleeding, and he assesses these carefully to understand what’s going on. He may also be involved in evaluating conditions that can affect the colon, including at times more severe complications like toxic megacolon.
Because stomach and bowel symptoms can have many causes, proper checks matter. Peter performs endoscopy and colonoscopy, which help doctors see what’s happening inside the digestive tract. This can be important for things like gastrointestinal bleeding, bowel inflammation, and colorectal polyps. Endoscopy also supports investigations for issues higher up, such as oesophagitis and other swallowing or reflux-related problems.
When a diagnosis is clear, Peter focuses on helping patients make a practical plan they can live with. He works in a calm, steady way, and takes time to explain what tests mean and what the next steps could be. Over time, this helps people feel more confident about their treatment.
