Dr Mohammed Q Khan

Internationally trained, Dr Khan holds a Doctor of Medicine (MD) in Internal Medicine, Membership of the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP, UK), Membership of the American College of Gastroenterology, and Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (FRACP). He has worked at leading tertiary institutions across India, United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, and Australia.

Dr Khan currently senior consultant at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, The Prince Charles Hospital, and STARS (Surgical, Treatment and Rehabilitation Service), positions that reflect the confidence senior Queensland health institutions place in his clinical judgement.

He is one of Australia’s most experienced specialists in esophageal physiology and gastrointestinal motility. Following more than 2 decade leading esophageal work at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre in Riyadh, one of the world’s foremost advance medical centres (Ranking 12th Worldwide), Dr Khan was invited to establish esophageal function testing services at Cairns Hospital in 2018. He built that service into one of the most advanced esophageal physiology laboratories in Northern Queensland.

In 2021, he introduced high-resolution esophageal manometry and both catheter-based and wireless pH monitoring at Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, and subsequently at STARS. These services have now supported more than 500 procedures, meaningfully improving diagnostic accuracy for patients with complex swallowing difficulties and treatment-resistant reflux disease.

For patients who have spent years managing symptoms without clear answers, Dr Khan’s specialisation offers something different: precise, evidnce-based diagnosis and a genuine pathway forward.

Beyond his clinical work, Dr Khan holds a Senior Lecturer appointment at The University of Queensland and has authored more than 37 peer-reviewed publications and presented at national and international conferences. He has participated in multicentre clinical trials focused on improving outcomes in digestive health.

Dr Khan sees patients with a wide range of gastroenterological and hepatological concerns, with expertise in:

• Swallowing difficulties (dysphagia)
• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), including complex and treatment-resistant presentations
• Diagnostic and therapeutic Gastroscopy and Colonoscopy
• Esophageal and Gastrointestinal Motility disorders
• Liver diseases
