The Gastrointestinal Centre

The Gastrointestinal Centre (GIC) is the first group practice of gastroenterologists on the Gold Coast providing consulting and G.I. endoscopic services to the entire Gold Coast and northern NSW. Our specialists include Dr Mark Thompson, Dr Geoffrey Francis, Dr Animesh Mishra, Dr Mohammad Al-Freah and Dr Ben Allen who combine to provide a wealth of... experience along with cutting edge training and procedural skill. Mark, Geoff, Animesh, Mohammad and Ben are also committed to ongoing professional development to stay abreast of the latest changes in the dynamic field of gastroenterology. We believe this allows us to provide you with the highest standard of patient care. Mark, Geoff, Animesh, Mohammad and Ben have a shared vision of high quality clinical practice. Their passion is to provide every patient with comprehensive and personalised care, both in hospital and in the outpatient setting. Our practice offers a model of "complete management" including expert consultation, procedures and diligent post procedural care. We have a strong commitment towards screening programs and ongoing surveillance for gastrointestinal disorders which we believe is critically important in preventing serious diseases such as cancer. We strive to meet the needs of every patient in a timely, efficient, caring and affordable way.
