About the doctor
The gastroenterology and hepatology sub-specialist deals with diseases of the oesophagus, stomach, intestine, liver, gallbladder and pancreas. Symptoms such as heartburn, abdominal pain, bloating, changes in bowel habit and gastrointestinal bleeding are investigated here.
Endoscopy and colonoscopy are key tools for diagnosing and even treating many of these conditions and play a vital role in the early screening of digestive-tract cancer. Treatment of liver disease, peptic ulcer, reflux and irritable bowel syndrome is also among this unit's services.
