Mr Richard Cade is an Upper GI Surgeon (Abdominal) based in Box Hill, VIC. He works out of Suite 18, Epworth Eastern Medical Centre, 1 Arnold Street, Box Hill VIC 3128.
His day-to-day work focuses on problems that involve the upper part of the digestive system, plus common abdominal surgical needs. That can mean looking inside the body to check what’s going on, and then helping with treatment when it’s needed.
Mr Cade also performs upper endoscopy (EGD) and colonoscopy. These tests can help doctors check for things like ongoing tummy or bowel symptoms, changes in bowel habits, bleeding, or trouble swallowing. At times, they’re used to find the cause of symptoms and guide the next steps.
When it comes to surgery, his work includes hernia repair. Hernias can show up as a sore, bulge, or discomfort that comes and goes. In many cases, fixing the problem helps reduce pain and stops the hernia from getting worse.
He also does gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy). This is commonly considered when someone has gallbladder trouble such as gallstones that keep causing attacks of pain, nausea, or discomfort after meals. Removing the gallbladder can bring relief for people who keep getting symptoms.
Over time, patients often come to see him when other steps haven’t fully sorted things out, or when a clear diagnosis is needed. He looks at the situation carefully and then plans what makes the most sense for that person’s health and routine.
Details about training and education aren’t listed here, but the procedures offered show the practical, hands-on focus of the role. The key point is that he works with both the investigation side (endoscopy and colonoscopy) and the surgical side (hernia repair and gallbladder removal).
No information about published research or clinical trials is provided. If you’d like, it’s best to ask the clinic staff or the surgeon’s rooms directly for the most up-to-date details on anything beyond routine care.
