Seeing a gastroenterologist privately gives you the opportunity to discuss your symptoms directly with the doctor responsible for your care.
The Consultant Gastroenterologist you meet at your first appointment will remain involved if an investigation is recommended. Where appropriate, the same doctor will carry out the procedure and review the findings with you afterwards, providing continuity throughout your care.
This means the person reviewing your results already understands the symptoms that brought you to the clinic. They can explain the findings in the context of your original concerns and answer any questions about what should happen next.

You do not need to know what is causing your symptoms before seeing a gastroenterologist. The purpose of the appointment is to understand what you have been experiencing and decide whether further investigation could help get to the bottom of it.
People come to our digestive health clinic in Manchester with symptoms including:
Some people have already discussed their symptoms with a GP and want further assessment. Others may have been waiting for an appointment and have decided to arrange private care instead.
You may have reached this page after searching for a bowel specialist, stomach specialist or gut specialist. At the clinic, you will be seen by a Consultant Gastroenterologist who can assess your symptoms and determine whether an investigation is appropriate.
If further investigation would be useful, your doctor will explain what they recommend and why. The clinic offers the following gastroenterology investigations.
The procedure uses a thin, flexible camera, passed through the mouth, to examine the oesophagus, stomach and the first part of the small intestine (duodenum). It may be recommended where symptoms suggest that looking directly at this area could provide useful information.
Find out more about gastroscopyThis procedure allows the doctor to examine the inside of the large intestine using a flexible camera. If it is relevant to your symptoms, they will explain what the investigation involves before you decide whether to proceed.
Find out more about colonoscopyA sigmoidoscopy examines the lower part of the large bowel. You will be advised as to whether this investigation is suitable based on the symptoms you have described and the information gathered during your appointment.
Find out more about sigmoidoscopyA private consultation is more than a route to a test. It gives you time to explain what has been happening, including how long you have had symptoms and whether they have changed. Your doctor will ask about what brought you to the clinic, review any relevant information you already have — previous test results or details of treatment you have tried all help build a clearer picture — and explain what may need investigating, including whether an endoscopic procedure is likely to provide useful information.
You will be told which investigation is being recommended and the reason for it. The doctor can explain how the procedure works, what preparation is involved and what you can expect afterwards.
You can ask questions before making a decision. An investigation is only arranged where it is considered appropriate based on your symptoms and assessment.
Once the relevant results are available, the same doctor will explain the findings and discuss what they mean in the context of your symptoms.
Because your care remains consultant-led, the person discussing the results already knows why you came to the clinic. You can ask follow-up questions and understand what the findings mean for your ongoing care.
