About Dr. Abubaker Ahmed

Dr Ahmed is a highly experienced Consultant Gastroenterologist and Advanced Endoscopist in Manchester, specialising in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the digestive system, liver, pancreas, and bile ducts. Based at the renowned Manchester Royal Infirmary, a leading tertiary referral centre serving patients across the North West of England, he provides expert care for both common gastrointestinal symptoms and complex digestive diseases.

Having completed his specialist gastroenterology training in the United Kingdom, Dr Ahmed further enhanced his expertise through advanced fellowship training in hepatobiliary medicine within the Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust. He has extensive experience in managing a broad spectrum of gastrointestinal, pancreatic, and liver conditions, combining clinical excellence with a compassionate, patient-focused approach.

Dr Ahmed is committed to delivering personalised, evidence-based care tailored to each patient's needs.

  • Abdominal pain and bloating
  • Acid reflux, heartburn, and indigestion

Dr Ahmed has been excellent throughout. His investigations and treatments have been consistently thorough. He quickly referred me to a colleague for surgery. He is kind and patient, and has taken the time to clearly explain my diagnosis following an MRI. His secretary has also been excellent and very helpful with administrative matters. I highly recommend Dr Ahmed.

I had an excellent experience with Dr Ahmed and could not recommend him highly enough. From the outset, he was professional, approachable, and took the time to clearly explain every step of the process. He answered all of my questions thoroughly, kept me well informed throughout, and ensured I understood what to expect at each stage. His calm and reassuring manner helped me feel much more relaxed and confident, making the entire experience far less stressful. The level of care and attention I received was outstanding, and the service provided was truly fantastic.
