About us
About Wexford Gastroenterology
Wexford Gastroenterology is a team of specialists based in Perth, Western Australia. We are located in the Wexford Medical Centre at Murdoch.
We have specialists who have a shared interest in the management of gastroenterological symptoms and conditions. This includes all problems related to the gut and liver.
We believe that gastroenterological conditions are best managed by trained specialists with an interest in that field. We deliver care to patients with a variety of conditions.
As part of our holistic approach we have a clinical psychologist, dietitian and naturopath in our team.
Our team of experienced endoscopists are gap-free providers with the major health funds. The size of our group means that we are able to accommodate urgent endoscopies at short notice. We are happy to take direct access endoscopy referrals. In addition to our private practice at Wexford Gastroenterology, we have public commitments, at Fiona Stanley Hospital, Peel Health Campus Mandurah, Rockingham General Hospital, Perth Children's Hospital and Fremantle Hospital.
For private procedures we operate at St John of God Murdoch Hospital and The Mount Hospital.

Tim O’Grady
BNat, BSc, MNHAATim is a Clinical Naturopath with a Bachelor of Naturopathy from Southern Cross University, NSW and a Bachelor of Science.
His expertise in digestive disorders and conditions related to gut barrier function such as allergies and autoimmune disease has developed over more than 10 years of practice.
Tim’s particular interest is the gut microbiome- a complex ecosystem that feeds off what we can’t digest, producing vitamins, important metabolites and aiding in mineral absorption. Our gut microbiota protects us against invasive disease-causing microorganisms and plays a vital role in regulating our immune system. This ecosystem can be modulated using nutrition, herbal medicine, probiotics and prebiotics. Significant, measurable improvements in gut barrier function are achievable, which can be expected to improve symptoms and reduce disease activity. You can learn more at Advanced Microbiome Restoration.
Naturopathic treatment can be highly complementary to orthodox care or, in the case of functional digestive disorders such as IBS, can be an effective primary treatment. Tim stays in close communication with treating GPs, Specialists and other health providers to ensure safe and effective care.
Tim practices in Perth on a fortnightly basis. He lives in Margaret River with his partner and two teenage children, where he likes to surf, ride his bike and make things in the shed!
