Welcome to the Department of Gastro Sciences at MGM Healthcare

One of the 12 Centres of Excellence at MGM Healthcare, Gastro Sciences comprises two key departments – The Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology and the Department Minimal Access (GI) and Bariatric Surgery. The mission of our specialised gastroenterologists, hepatologists and GI and bariatric surgeons is to provide patient-centric care of the highest quality and conduct innovative medical research, equipped with the best of medical technology.

Gastroenterology is a specialized area of medicine that focuses on the health of the digestive system, or the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The Institute of Gastro Sciences and Bariatric Surgery at MGM Healthcare is a dedicated centre for early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of all gastroenterological, pancreato-biliary, bowel and liver-related conditions.

The Institute seeks to be a centre of excellence, providing comprehensive & cutting-edge services for all gastroenterological and related conditions. To meet this objective, the centre is equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure and an expert team of surgeons, consultants, nursing assistants and para-medical staff to lend excellence-driven, patient-centric care.

The departments offer comprehensive and advanced diagnostic and therapeutic facilities, including emergency GI bleed management, GI surgery, GI oncology, breast surgery and paediatric services.

Specialised clinics have been set-up for the treatment and management of reflux disease, constipation, jaundice, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, hernias, weight loss and colorectal cancers.

Spearheaded by leading experts in their field who are aided by cutting-edge technology, both the medical and surgical streams follow advanced treatment protocols and minimally invasive methods, thus improving patient outcome and experience and advancing the recovery process.

Our panel of gastroenterologists are internationally trained and they will guide you through every step from initial assessment to diagnosis and treatment. We personalize and customize treatment plan to suit every patient’s need. Expert guidance on diet and lifestyle changes is also provided to bring you back to good health and take preventive measures.

Senior Consultant & Clinical Lead
Department of Gastroenterology & Hepatology

The Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology has been set up in response to the significant increase in the incidence of gastrointestinal and liver diseases. These diseases do not present as major irritants initially and are therefore, ignored or inadequately treated. However, GI and liver diseases can worsen over time and affect other vital organs of the body. We provide patients with the best treatment plan and help manage their condition thereafter.
