Frequently asked questions
What are the common symptoms that your patients tend to present with?
I see a mixture of upper and lower GI patients. In terms of upper GI, I see patients with swallowing problems, heartburn, reflux, indigestion, among others.
In terms of lower GI, I see patients with diarrhoea, change in bowel habits, bleeding, abdominal bloating and IBS (irritable bowel syndrome).
What are the treatments that you're able to offer your patients?
I see a mixture of endoscopic and medical treatments. I'm able to personally do a whole range of endoscopy investigations. I also have access to a really good team of other specialists, if needed, for radiology and scans.
In terms of treatments, we have all of the available medications according to the latest research.
What are your areas of sub-specialist interest?
My subspecialist interest is upper GI disease, particularly swallowing problems and reflux, and endoscopy and advanced interventional endoscopy such as endoscopic ultrasound, bowel cancer screening, and endoscopic resections.
