About The Gut Check Lab

The Gut Check Lab prioritises patient comfort while delivering advanced diagnostic solutions for digestive disorders. With a strong foundation of clinical expertise, the team at The Gut Check Lab focuses on minimally invasive testing methods to ensure a more comfortable and less intrusive experience for patients.

In collaboration with colleagues at the Royal Free Hospital, The Gut Check Lab utilises the latest technologies to provide cutting-edge diagnostic services. The centre is dedicated to using innovative techniques that reduce the need for traditional fibre-optic endoscopy, offering safer and more tolerable alternatives.

The clinic offers a range of tests designed to identify digestive issues efficiently and effectively. For cases where initial imaging provides limited information, patient-friendly assessments are available to ensure thorough diagnostic clarity. The emphasis is on delivering comprehensive care in a calm and welcoming environment, free from the discomfort often associated with traditional diagnostic procedures.

Unlike traditional methods requiring large, cumbersome machinery, the tests at The Gut Check Lab are performed using modern, compact equipment in comfortable settings. Patients can expect accurate results, delivered with minimal discomfort and maximum care.

I have been under the care of Professor Owen Epstein for my Ulcerative Colitis, and I can confidently say that he is an exceptional gastroenterologist. His depth of knowledge, years of experience, and genuine care for his patients make him stand out in his field. From the very first consultation, he took the time to listen, thoroughly explain my condition, and offer a personalized treatment plan that worked best for me. His patient-centered approach and commitment to providing the highest level of care have truly made a difference in managing my condition. Beyond his expertise, he is incredibly kind, approachable, and reassuring qualities that make all the difference when dealing with a long-term condition. I feel extremely lucky to have him as my doctor and cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone looking for a top-tier gastroenterologist. Thank you, Professor Epstein, for your dedication and outstanding care!

A member of my family had previously been diagnosed with colon cancer, and I wanted to have my colon checked and while sharing this with a friend they mention that there was this procedure called Colon Capsule Endoscopy which I had never heard before. I approached MIGe to understand more about what the procedure involves, and the Nurse Specialist Hansa help me to clarify all my questions. I’m very grateful to have been screened as in fact I was not 100% clear and Prof. Epstein, Harold and Hansa help me navigate through my journey I felt supported all the way through. Once Again thank you very much for your kindness and your support.
