Dr Asimina Gaglia
Consultant Gastroenterologist
MBBS
"I love working for Spire Regency Hospital. The staff are wonderful - creating such a positive atmosphere for the patients. Most importantly, the hospital embraces innovation and is open to new ideas."
I am an experienced Gastroenterologist, having worked in the NHS as a Consultant since 2016 with a special interest in endoscopy. I have been working as a Consultant Gastroenterologist in Stockport NHS Foundation Trust since 2019 where I am also the Lead of the Endoscopy Unit. Previously, I was a Consultant Gastroenterologist at the Royal Liverpool Hospital where I also completed my fellowships in inflammatory bowel disease and advanced endoscopy. I am an accredited Bowel Cancer Screening Colonoscopist for the Manchester Bowel Cancer Screening Centre.
I graduated from the University of Patras in Greece in 1999 and I completed my training in gastroenterology both in Greece and in the UK. Despite my special interest in endoscopy, throughout my career, I have been treating patients with a wide variety of gastrointestinal problems both as outpatients and inpatients.
I have a special interest in endoscopy including gastroscopy, colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy, both diagnostic and therapeutic (polypectomy, dilation) including Bowel Cancer Screening Colonoscopy. I also manage gastroeosophageal reflux and motility disorders of the oseophagus and stomach, functional gastrointestinal disorders including irritable bowel syndrome, chronic diarrhoea and constipation and also inflammatory bowel disease.
I have completed over 4,000 colonoscopies and 6,000 gastroscopies. I perform endoscopic mucosal resection of colonic polyps, dilatation of oesophageal strictures, Barrett's and atrophic gastritis surveillance, inflammatory bowel disease surveillance colonoscopy, bowel cancer screening colonoscopy.
