During your appointment, your Consultant will discuss the correct treatment for you and tell you whether you need to stop taking any medications before treatment commences.

For any private gastroenterology procedures such as a colonoscopy, gastroscopy or sigmoidoscopy, we’ll advise you beforehand if there’s anything you need to do to prepare. Our caring and experienced team will be on hand to discuss any concerns or answer any questions you may have.

When you arrive for your appointment or gastroenterology treatment, you’ll be treated with care and discretion. Our team is there to ensure that your treatment is delivered in a safe and effective way.

After your gastroenterology procedure, you’ll be given all the information and medication you need to return home, safely and in comfort. We’ll tell you who to contact if you have further concerns.
