I specialise in all aspects of gastroenterology including irritable bowel syndrome, functional GI disturbances, liver dysfunction and fatty liver, inflammatory bowel disease and patients with nutritional needs.

I am JAG-certified for performing diagnostic and therapeutic gastroscopy and colonoscopy. I have performed more than 1,000 colonoscopies, near 2,000 gastroscopies and over 400 flexible sigmoidoscopies.

I also provide local out of hours GI bleed service.
