Yazmin Johari is a Gastroenterologist based in Prahran, NSW. You can find the practice at Level 6, 99 Commercial Rd, Prahran, NSW 3004, Australia. She helps people with gut and digestive system problems, from day-to-day reflux issues through to bigger digestive health challenges.
A lot of her work is focused on the oesophagus, stomach, and nearby organs. This can include conditions like Barrett Esophagus and oesophagitis. At times, patients are also dealing with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), where burning and discomfort can linger for weeks or keep coming back. There’s also care for people with gastroparesis, which can make it harder for the stomach to move food along at the usual speed.
Yazmin Johari also looks after patients who need support for weight-related gut health, including obesity. In some cases, that may involve procedures such as sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass. These operations are often considered when lifestyle changes haven’t been enough, and when the digestive side of weight issues needs careful medical and surgical planning.
Endoscopy is another important part of the work. Endoscopy helps doctors take a closer look inside the digestive tract, and it can be used to check what’s going on when symptoms aren’t clear, or when monitoring is needed for conditions like Barrett Esophagus. It’s a practical tool that can guide next steps, whether that’s treatment changes or further tests.
There are also more complex surgical conditions that may come up. For example, she can be involved in care related to pancreaticoduodenectomy. This is a major operation and it usually comes with a lot of planning, follow-up, and support, especially around recovery and ongoing gut health.
Overall, the aim is to make things feel more manageable. Digestive symptoms can be stressful and disruptive, and it can take time to get the right diagnosis and plan. In many cases, getting the details right early helps reduce uncertainty and sets up better treatment decisions going forward.
