Dr Lilianne Gomez Lopez
Paediatric Gastroenterologist
BM, BSc, MA, PhD
I am a Consultant in Paediatric Gastroenterology with over 20 years of experience, primarily focused on general paediatric gastroenterology. My practice integrates a holistic and patient-centred approach, combining evidence-based medicine with personalised care to address the unique needs of each child and their family.
I specialise in managing a broad spectrum of gastrointestinal conditions while ensuring collaborative care and fostering long-term wellbeing. My dedication to delivering high-quality, integrative care and my ability to connect with patients and families set me apart in the field.
I have a particular expertise in managing gastrointestinal disorders such as recurrent abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhoea, gastro-oesophageal reflux and food intolerances. Additionally, I have significant experience in managing complex nutritional conditions, including patients requiring enteral or parenteral nutrition, and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to deliver comprehensive care.
