Erin R. Shanahan is a Gastroenterologist based in Sydney, NSW, Australia. She works with people who have ongoing gut health concerns, from everyday indigestion to issues that keep coming back. If symptoms are getting in the way of work, sleep, or meals, she helps people work out what might be going on and what to do next.
In many cases, the goal is simple: get to the root cause and then plan care that fits your day-to-day life. Erin’s work includes endoscopy, which can be useful when doctors need a closer look inside the digestive tract. At times, this kind of test helps sort out things like reflux, stomach discomfort, bloating, and changes in bowel habits.
She also looks after people with small bowel bacterial overgrowth. This can cause ongoing bloating, wind, tummy pain, and feeling unwell after meals. Managing this kind of condition often takes a steady approach, because symptoms can shift over time. Erin focuses on checking what’s happening, then working through treatment options that may help settle things down.
Alongside digestive care, her listed services include melanoma. That means melanoma may be part of what she supports in clinic, depending on the situation and care pathway. If you’re unsure how your specific issue fits in, it’s worth asking at your appointment so expectations are clear from the start.
Practical care matters, especially when symptoms don’t have a quick fix. Erin brings a calm, grounded approach and aims to keep explanations clear. Details about her education, past experience, and any research or clinical trial work are not listed here, so it’s best to confirm those points directly during a consultation.
