Gastroenterology and Endoscopy Care Approach
Gastroenterology covers a wide range of digestive problems, from common symptoms such as persistent acidity, abdominal discomfort, bloating, and altered bowel habits to complex inflammatory, pancreatic, and liver disorders.
Dr. Kothari’s practice combines medical gastroenterology with endoscopic evaluation. Gastroscopy may be used to examine the oesophagus, stomach, and upper digestive tract, while colonoscopy allows direct assessment of the large intestine. These tests may help investigate bleeding, persistent digestive symptoms, inflammatory disease, polyps, or other abnormalities.
His hepatology work includes assessment and management of fatty liver disease, hepatitis, and cirrhosis. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease or chronic pancreatic disorders may require longer-term monitoring because symptoms and treatment requirements can change over time.
