About Dr Anthony Lerman

Dr Anthony Lerman is a Consultant Gastroenterologist with broad expertise across all aspects of digestive health. He graduated from Guy's and St Thomas' School of Medicine and the University of Cambridge in 1998, completing his postgraduate specialist training in London. He holds full GMC Specialist Register accreditation in Gastroenterology and he
is also on the Specialist Register for General Internal Medicine. 

Dr Lerman has particular expertise in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and coeliac disease, alongside a comprehensive interest in the full breadth of gastrointestinal medicine. 

Dr Lerman understands that patients present with a wide variety of symptoms — some pointing clearly towards a specific diagnosis, others far less so. Informed by years of accumulated clinical experience, he uses a careful history and practised examination to lead to appropriate investigations to form the foundation for diagnosis.

To deliver the best possible outcomes, he works closely with surgeons, physiologists, dietitians and specialist nurses, taking a holistic approach.

Dr Lerman finds the greatest satisfaction in making the right diagnosis and then working alongside patients to navigate their condition and optimise their outcome. 

Widely regarded as approachable and thorough, Dr Lerman is committed to medical education at both postgraduate and undergraduate levels. He is an examiner at UCL Medical School and serves as a Chair and International Examiner for the Royal College of Physicians' postgraduate examinations, while also actively training the next generation of
gastroenterologists.

Throughout the whole process of diagnosis, which involved an endoscopy, colonoscopy and CT colongraphy, Dr Lerman was exceptionally clear about what was involved, what was discovered and what that meant; ie, how I should understand, interpret and act upon the diagnosis and findings. He explains things thoroughly and clearly, with charm and good humour. He was attentive, and sensitive in ensuring that I received information in as clear and reassuring a manner as possible. I'd unreservedly recommend him. And his team deserve a shout out - they are lightening fast in responding and sorting things out.

Dr Lerman went out of his way, many a time to explain exactly what he was going to do, what he had done and the next course of action. On no occasion did he rush my consultation or limit these to the standard ‘15 minutes’ for me and, on one occasion, after a procedure, he rang about late at night and rang me twice to ensure I was not experiencing an adverse reaction to a procedure, that may have required admission. I was pleasantly shocked and impressed at Mr Lerman’s standard of care and attention towards me, and would absolutely recommend him as a 5-star doctor for gastroenterology care.

I found Dr Lerman’s care excellent. He took his time and did a very thorough initial consultation, arranged the appropriate tests and investigations without delay. I wouldn’t hesitate to see him in the future, if needed. His secretary is very responsive and helpful.

* Dr. Lerman is supremely knowledgeable and answered all the questions I had with thoroughness. * He is professional, polite and pleasant. It was a pleasure to be attended to by Dr. Lerman. * His testing was thorough: various tests were administered to rule things out when diagnosing my problem. These tests are good anyway to monitor one's health. * Dr. Lerman saved me a great deal of suffering by suggesting a clinic to do OGD (tube down the throat) under a mild anaesthetic so that I wasn't conscious for this painful procedure. It's the only clinic in London that uses anaesthetic. * Huge thank you to Dr. Lerman! When one has health issues, it's comforting to be in such capable hands.
