Specialists: Dr André Chong / Dr. André Chong

Dr André Chong, a graduate of the University of Melbourne, is a gastroenterologist and interventional endoscopist.

Upon finishing gastroenterology training, he completed a Fellowship in Interventional Endoscopy in Melbourne and was awarded a research grant from the highly competitive NHMRC process. The research published culminated in an MD degree, for studies in the evidence-based use of endoscopic ultrasound and capsule endoscopy. This was followed by two further post-doctoral therapeutic endoscopy fellowships in recognised centres of excellence, including one year in the USA, with Dr Peter Cotton and Dr Robert Hawes and with Dr Nageshwara Reddy at the Asian Institute of Gastroenterology.

Dr Chong has peer-reviewed publications in interventional endoscopy, has been an international reviewer for the premier endoscopy journal, Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (GIE) and has been training other specialists in therapeutic endoscopy since 2005.
