“At Universal Gastroenterology, we aim to provide an empathetic and professional service. The first step is to carefully listen to what the patient has to say and to clarify their concerns. We aim to provide a comprehensive approach to investigation, diagnosis and treatment informed by evidence-based medicine.”


Universal Gastroenterology was founded by Dr Arun Gupta, a board-credentialled gastroenterologist (gut specialist) who trained in Melbourne, Sydney and the United Kingdom.

Dr Gupta has a strong interest in performing high-quality gastroscopy and colonoscopy and diagnosis and management of all aspects of gastroenterology.
