Frequently asked questions
What are the common symptoms that your patients tend to present with?
I am a general gastroenterologist as well as subspecialist in inflammatory bowel disease and clinical nutrition/intestinal failure. I regularly see patients with a range of troublesome upper and lower GI symptoms including abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhoea, bloating, indigestion, acid reflux, rectal bleeding and weight loss, amongst others.
What are the treatments that you're able to offer your patients?
I regularly see patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis and run a busy tertiary NHS practice which I also offer in the private sector. I'm also fully accredited therapeutic endoscopist and regularly undertake both gastroscopy and colonoscopy (and polypectomy).
What are your areas of sub-specialist interest?
My main subspecialty interests are inflammatory bowel disease and clinical nutrition/intestinal failure. I undertook my PhD investigating the immunopathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease and remain actively involved in clinical research.
My other clinical interests include endoscopy, irritable bowel syndrome, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, coeliac disease, and pelvic radiation disease.
