Dr Linus Chang has been a consultant gastroenterologist since 2010. He has special interests in high quality surveillance colonoscopy, monitoring of gastric intestinal metaplasia to detect early stomach cancer and Hepatitis B. He has special expertise in endoscopic ultrasound which is used to clarify intestinal subepithelial lesions, and pancreaticobiliary disease. He undertook his gastroenterology training at the Princess Alexandra Hospital and Townsville. He had further subspecialty training in endoscopic ultrasound and its role in the diagnosis and staging of upper gastrointestinal cancer at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Perth in 2009 with further periods of observation and hands-on training at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, USA and St Luc Hospital in Montreal, Canada.
Dr Chang was formerly staff specialist at the Mater Hospital Brisbane and lecturer with the University of Queensland. He was colonoscopy trainer for ten years to gastroenterology trainees at the Mater Hospital Brisbane. He is now solely in private practice and performs procedures at Mater Private South Brisbane, Mater Private Springfield, Westside Private in Taringa and Sunnybank Private Hospital. Dr Chang consults at the Salmon Building on Stanley Street, South Brisbane and at Suite 21, Sunnybank Private Hospital Specialist Consulting Suites, 245 McCullough St, Sunnybank.
Dr Chang offers two streamlined models of care designed to provide timely and flexible access to gastrointestinal assessment and endoscopy.
Rapid Access Endoscopy
Eligible patients can bypass the initial consultation and book directly for a colonoscopy or gastroscopy. This model is ideal for those seeking prompt investigation of digestive symptoms, reducing wait times and accelerating diagnosis.
Consultation-Led Endoscopy
For patients who prefer a comprehensive assessment, Dr Chang provides an initial specialist consultation to review symptoms, medical history, and determine the most appropriate investigation or treatment plan. Endoscopy is then arranged as part of a tailored care pathway.
