Dr Fidler earned a first-class medical degree from Guy's Hospital in 1987 before training in centres of excellence in London, including University College Hospital and The Royal Free Hospital.

Very supportive and kind. Clear in terms of what we would do when and why and I had a positive colonoscopy procedure. I came away with some achievable things I can do to manage my bowel health and a clear expectation on future check ups. Thank you.

My first encounter with Dr Helen Fidler was brilliant. She made me feel super comfortable, asked me plenty of questions and answered any questions I had. I had a follow up appointment, she wanted to repeat my blood test to rule out what the issue might be. She also outlined what the next steps would be in regards to the test. Cannot recommend her enough. You won’t be disappointed with the care she provides.

Dr Fidler is a very experienced, professional, compassionate, and warm doctor. I have both received and made referrals to her as a Consultant colleague and so apart from my own experience of her work, I am aware of really good patient feedback about her. Very simply if I or a family member needed a Gastroenterologist, I would happily see Dr Fidler.
