About Dr Mishra

Dr Mishra provides comprehensive gastroenterology care for a wide range of digestive conditions.

He has a strong interest in gastroenterology because it combines both consultation medicine and advanced procedures, allowing him to care for patients in his rooms as well as in hospital, where he provides specialised endoscopic treatments. He also has a long standing professional interest in the full range of conditions managed within his rapidly evolving specialty, including conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract, liver and pancreas.

His approach is centred on listening carefully to patients, investigating symptoms thoroughly and providing clear, evidence-based treatment plans which are tailored to provide each individual patient with the highest quality care.

Education
and Specialist Training

Dr Mishra completed his medical degree at the University of Sydney, graduating in 2000 with First Class Honours, reflecting outstanding academic achievement among his medical peers.

Before specialising in gastroenterology, he trained and practised as a General Practitioner. His work as a GP allowed him to develop a broad understanding of whole-person care and how gastrointestinal conditions affect overall health. This experience further taught Dr Mishra that the foundation of good medicine is careful listening. Symptoms don’t occur in isolation — they affect work, family, confidence and overall wellbeing.

He later completed specialist training in Gastroenterology and Hepatology in Sydney at two of Australia’s leading teaching hospitals with highly respected specialist training programs:

  • Westmead Hospital
  • Royal North Shore Hospital

Dr. Mishra is actively involved in medical education and teaches students in the Bond University Medical Program. He also regularly presents at general practice education events, providing practical and evidence based updates in gastroenterology and hepatology to his colleagues.
