Training

Clinical interests
Dr John cares for a wide range of gastrointestinal, liver, pancreatic and biliary conditions, with special interests in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS), and oesophageal manometry and analysis.
The approach
Good medical care begins with listening. Digestive symptoms can be complex and can affect many aspects of daily life. Dr John aims to give patients the opportunity to tell their story, understand their concerns and feel heard.
Investigations, diagnoses and treatment options are explained in understandable language so that patients can take part in decisions about their care.
