Inflammatory bowel disease

Complex decisions, explained clearly and managed thoughtfully.

Specialist assessment and ongoing care for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, informed by clinical leadership, research and additional specialist training at Mayo Clinic.

Specialist IBD consultations

IBD care often involves balancing disease control, treatment risks, monitoring and the effect of symptoms on daily life. Associate Professor Vasudevan provides consultations for new diagnoses, established disease and situations where the next step is uncertain.

  • Confirmation or clarification of diagnosis
  • Second opinions and complex treatment decisions
  • Biologic and small-molecule therapies
  • Monitoring and treatment optimisation
  • Planning when symptoms and objective inflammation do not align
  • Colonoscopy and dysplasia surveillance

A patient-centred approach

The aim is not simply to name a treatment. It is to explain the clinical problem, compare realistic options and develop a plan that reflects the evidence and the individual patient's priorities.
