1 review about Dr. Peter Yap

verified email - 19 Mar 2009

Dr. Yap has been my GP since we moved to Revesby more than ten years ago. He is extremely popular with his patients and his waiting room's always full (amazing considering he doesn't bulk bill and he sees patients only by appointment). I owe him heaps as he diagnosed my colon cancer in its early stages. I had bleeding with explosive diarrhoea and, although I had a history of piles, he performed an endoscopy on me, where he found pre-cancerous polyps. He told me to have a colonoscopy, and that was when I was diagnosed with colon cancer. Had he not been so conscientious, he could have dismissed the bleeding as due to piles and not ordered more testing to be done. He also referred me to an excellent surgeon, Dr. Christophe Berney, who finally operated on me. Dr. Berney considers him “outstanding” and I agree with him 100%. I probably owe Dr. Yap my life, as my cancer was removed early and so far I don't have to have chemo or radiotherapy.

I would like to make a correction to my original review. The test that Dr. Yap did on me was not an endoscopy but a rigid sigmoidoscopy. He pushed it to the limit, which was rather uncomfortable, but worth it, as that was where he found the cancerous polyps.
