When to See a Gastroenterologist?
A gastroenterologist in Singapore specialises in disorders affecting the digestive tract — including the oesophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, and intestines. These experts diagnose and treat symptoms like chronic indigestion, unexplained weight loss, abdominal discomfort, constipation or diarrhoea, and gastrointestinal bleeding.
At Gleneagles Hospital, these specialists perform advanced procedures such as gastroscopy, colonoscopy, endoscopic mucosal resection, and liver fibrosis assessment, in addition to managing complex conditions like gastrointestinal cancers, peptic ulcers, and fatty liver disease. They often collaborate with surgical and oncological teams for integrated, multi-disciplinary care.

Key Procedures & Typical Costs in Singapore
Knowing treatment costs ahead of time helps with budget planning and insurance utilisation. Here are cost estimates for GI procedures at private hospitals like Gleneagles:
Procedure | Estimated Cost (SGD) |
Colonoscopy | $2,000 – $3,500 |
Gastroscopy | $800 – $2,800 |
Liver Function Test Panel | $30.52 – $91.56 (depends on the specific tests included) |
