Dr Patrick Walsh

Patrick completed his entrance examinations to the United States and commenced work as an Endoscopic Ultrasound Fellow in 2005.  During his tenure at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Centre he was offered a staff position which he held for six months before returning to Australia. 

On returning to Australia in 2006, Patrick accepted a position at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital offering his services in endoscopic ultrasound and advanced endoscopy. 

Patrick established Digestive Diseases Queensland in 2006 with Dr Ben Devereaux and through this private practice offers a wide range of quality consultation in general gastroenterology and endoscopic ultrasound, bariatric endoscopy and therapeutic endoscopy.

Since then, Patrick has developed expertise in the complex post-operative management of surgical leaks, in the bariatric population. In December 2015 Patrick performed the first Overstitch procedures in the country and has continue to be at the forefront of its application in Australia. He regularly performs both revisions for post-operative patients and endoscopic sleeves using this device. Patrick is frequently an invited speaker in the surgical forums to discuss the emerging role of endoscopy in the bariatric population.
