Consultation

If you are suffering from symptoms such bloating, abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, reflux or indigestion or passing blood, your first step is to arrange a consultation.

You can use my fill in form or call my helpful Personal Assistant to book in for an initial discussion with myself personally.

Diagnosis

Depending on the problem you are experiencing, you may require an internal examination, such as an endoscopy or colonoscopy or a FibroScan.

We can arrange these quickly and ensure you can have the relevant procedure in good time.

Procedure

You may require one or more procedures to assist with the diagnosis, and from there we will discuss your options together.

The most important aspect is to identify the cause of your presenting symptoms, which can only be discovered through personalised consultations and testing.
