Frequently asked questions
What are the common symptoms that your patients tend to present with?
The most common symptoms my patients have are abdominal pain, bloating and heartburn. These can signify serious underlying disease, but can equally be very straightforward problems to solve.
The gastrointestinal tract has the potential to cause many varied symptoms, so it's important to identify the cause as soon as possible.
What are the treatments that you're able to offer your patients?
The treatment is very pathology and patient-specific and it's very important to treat any underlying problems in a holistic manner. These can either be with lifestyle changes, medications, complex endoscopic therapies, dietary manipulation or hypnotherapy. I'm lucky enough to work in a group that can provide all of these.
What are your areas of sub-specialist interest?
My main areas of subspecialist interests are endoscopic, both the diagnosis and treatment of pre-malignant and cancerous pathology in the oesophagus, stomach, pancreas and colon.
